Psalms 123

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël,

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν εἰπάτω δὴ Ισραηλ

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis : cum exsurgerent homines in nos,

εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ἐπαναστῆναι ἀνθρώπους ἐφ' ἡμᾶς

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

forte vivos deglutissent nos; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,

ἄρα ζῶντας ἂν κατέπιον ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ ὀργισθῆναι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτῶν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos;

ἄρα τὸ ὕδωρ κατεπόντισεν ἡμᾶς χείμαρρον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

torrentem pertransivit anima nostra; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.

ἄρα διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἀνυπόστατον

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum.

εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἡμᾶς εἰς θήραν τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν αὐτῶν

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.

ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὡς στρουθίον ἐρρύσθη ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τῶν θηρευόντων ἡ παγὶς συνετρίβη καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐρρύσθημεν

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

Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit cælum et terram.

ἡ βοήθεια ἡμῶν ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν
