¹If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

¹Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel:

²if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

²Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

³then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

³eles nos teriam tragado vivos, quando a sua ira se acendeu contra nós;

⁴then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

⁴as águas nos teriam submergido, e a torrente teria passado sobre nós;

⁵sim, as águas impetuosas teriam passado sobre nós.

⁶Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁶Bendito seja o Senhor, que não nos entregou, como presa, aos dentes deles.

⁷Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

⁷Escapamos, como um pássaro, do laço dos passarinheiros; o laço quebrou-se, e nós escapamos.

⁸Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

⁸O nosso socorro está no nome do Senhor, que fez os céus e a terra.
