Psalm 124
New American Standard Bible
Praise for Rescue from Enemies.
A Song of Ascents, of David.
124 “(A)Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,”
(B)Let Israel say,
2 “Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When people rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (C)swallowed us alive,
When their (D)anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the (E)waters would have flooded over us,
The stream would have [a]swept over our souls;
5 Then the (F)raging waters would have [b]swept over our souls.”
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us [c]to be (G)torn by their teeth.
7 Our souls have (H)escaped (I)like a bird from the trapper’s (J)snare;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our (K)help is in the name of the Lord,
Who (L)made heaven and earth.

Palabra de Dios para Todos
Nuestra ayuda vino del Señor
Canto de David para los peregrinos.
1 ¿Qué nos habría pasado
si el SEÑOR no hubiera estado a nuestro lado?,
que lo diga Israel,
2 si el SEÑOR no hubiera estado a nuestro lado,
cuando todos se levantaron para atacarnos,
¿qué nos habría pasado?
3 Nuestros enemigos nos habrían tragado vivos
cuando ardían de ira contra nosotros.
4 Habrían arrasado con nosotros
como un río desbordado arrastra con todo a su paso;
5 las aguas turbulentas
habrían pasado sobre nosotros.
6 Bendito sea el SEÑOR que no permitió que nos destrozaran
como presa entre sus dientes.
7 Fuimos como pájaros que escaparon del cazador.
La red se rompió y pudimos escapar.
8 Nuestra ayuda viene del SEÑOR,
creador del cielo y de la tierra.
Psalm 124
New King James Version
The Lord the Defense of His People
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
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;
4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have [a]gone over our soul;
5 Then the swollen waters
Would have [b]gone over our soul.”
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 (D)Our soul has escaped (E)as a bird from the snare of the [c]fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 (F)Our help is in the name of the Lord,
(G)Who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 124
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 they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
