Psalm 124
Names of God Bible
Psalm 124
A song by David for going up to worship.
1 “If Yahweh had not been on our side . . .”
(Israel should repeat this.)
2 “If Yahweh had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 then they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger exploded against us.
4 Then the floodwaters would have swept us away.
An overflowing stream would have washed us away.
5 Then raging water would have washed us away.”
6 Thank Yahweh, who did not let them sink their teeth into us.
7 We escaped like a bird caught in a hunter’s trap.
The trap was broken, and we escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh, the maker of heaven and earth.
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.

Só Deus pode livrar o seu povo
Cântico dos degraus, de Davi
124 Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora, diga Israel: 2 Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós, 3 eles, então, nos teriam engolido vivos, quando a sua ira se acendeu contra nós; 4 então, as águas teriam trasbordado sobre nós, e a corrente teria passado sobre a nossa alma; 5 então, as águas altivas teriam passado sobre a nossa alma.
6 Bendito seja o Senhor, que não nos deu por presa aos seus dentes. 7 A nossa alma escapou, como um pássaro do laço dos passarinheiros; o laço quebrou-se, e nós escapamos.
8 O nosso socorro está em o nome do Senhor, que fez o céu e a terra.
