Psalm 124
21st Century King James Version
124 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side”—now may Israel say—
2 “if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when men rose up against us,
3 then would they have swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.”
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Salmos 124
La Biblia de las Américas
Canto de liberación
Cántico de ascenso gradual[a]; de David.
124 Si el Señor no hubiera estado a nuestro favor[b](A),
—diga ahora Israel(B)—
2 si el Señor no hubiera estado a nuestro favor[c]
cuando los hombres se levantaron contra nosotros,
3 vivos nos hubieran tragado entonces(C)
cuando su ira se encendió contra nosotros(D);
4 entonces las aguas nos hubieran anegado(E),
un torrente hubiera pasado sobre nuestra alma,
5 hubieran pasado entonces sobre nuestra alma las aguas impetuosas(F).
6 Bendito sea el Señor,
que no nos ha entregado como presa de[d] los dientes de ellos(G).
7 Nuestra alma ha escapado(H) cual ave(I) del lazo de los cazadores(J);
el lazo se rompió y nosotros escapamos.
8 Nuestro socorro está en el nombre del Señor(K),
que hizo los cielos y la tierra(L).

124 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our (A)side,”
(B)Let Israel now say—
2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (C)swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;

The stream would have [a]gone over our soul;
5 Then the swollen waters
Would have [b]gone over our soul.”
