Psalms, 124

1. A song of ascents. Of David. I Had not the LORD been with us, let Israel say,

2. Had not the LORD been with us, when people rose against us,

3. They would have swallowed us alive, for their fury blazed against us.

4. The waters would have engulfed us, the torrent overwhelmed us;

5. seething waters would have drowned us.

6. Blessed be the LORD, who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs.

7. We escaped with our lives like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare was broken and we escaped.

8. Our help is the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.

“Você deve ter sempre prudência e amor. A prudência tem olhos; o amor tem pernas. O amor, como tem pernas, gostaria de correr a Deus. Mas seu impulso de deslanchar na direção dEle é cego e, algumas vezes, pode tropeçar se não for guiado pela prudência, que tem olhos.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
