1Si el SEÑOR no hubiera estado de nuestra parte —que lo repita ahora Israel—,2si el SEÑOR no hubiera estado de nuestra parte cuando todo el mundo se levantó contra nosotros,3nos habrían tragado vivos al encenderse su furor contra nosotros;4nos habrían inundado las aguas, el torrente nos habría arrastrado,5¡nos habrían arrastrado las aguas turbulentas!6Bendito sea el SEÑOR, que no dejó que nos despedazaran con sus dientes.7Como las aves, hemos escapado de la trampa del cazador; ¡la trampa se rompió, y nosotros escapamos!8Nuestra ayuda está en el nombre del SEÑOR, creador del cielo y de la tierra.
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say— (Sal 94:17; Sal 129:1)2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; (Sal 56:1)4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; (Job 22:11; Sal 32:6; Sal 69:1; Sal 69:2; Is 8:8)5then over us would have gone the raging waters.6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! (Sal 91:3)8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. (Sal 121:2)
