Psalm 124 | English Standard Version

Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say—

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,

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

4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

5 then over us would have gone the raging waters.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

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

1 Cantique des degrés. De David. Sans l'Éternel qui nous protégea, Qu'Israël le dise!

2 Sans l'Éternel qui nous protégea, Quand les hommes s'élevèrent contre nous,

3 Ils nous auraient engloutis tout vivants, Quand leur colère s'enflamma contre nous;

4 Alors les eaux nous auraient submergés, Les torrents auraient passé sur notre âme;

5 Alors auraient passé sur notre âme Les flots impétueux.

6 Béni soit l'Éternel, Qui ne nous a pas livrés en proie à leurs dents!

7 Notre âme s'est échappée comme l'oiseau du filet des oiseleurs; Le filet s'est rompu, et nous nous sommes échappés.

8 Notre secours est dans le nom de l'Éternel, Qui a fait les cieux et la terre.
