Salmo 123

Our help is in the name of the Lord
If the Lord had not been on our side
Let Israel say this now
If the Lord had not been on our side
When men attacked us
They would have swallowed us alive
When their anger flared against us

The flood would have engulfed us
The torrent would have swept over us
The raging waters would have swept us away
Praise be to the Lord
Who has not let us be torn by their teeth

We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare
The snare has been broken
and we have escaped
Our help is in the name of the Lord
The Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth!
