124Nisi quia Dominus
1If the Lord had not been on our side, *
let Israel now say;
2If the Lord had not been on our side, *
when enemies rose up against us;
3Then would they have swallowed us up alive *
in their fierce anger toward us;
4Then would the waters have overwhelmed us *
and the torrent gone over us;
5Then would the raging waters *
have gone right over us.
6Blessed be the Lord! *
he has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; *
the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8Our help is in the Name of the Lord, *
the maker of heaven and earth.
125Qui confidunt
1Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, *
which cannot be moved, but stands fast for ever.
2The hills stand about Jerusalem; *
so does the Lord stand round about his people,
from this time forth for evermore.
3The scepter of the wicked shall not hold sway over the land allotted to the just, *
so that the just shall not put their hands to evil.
