Psalmi 124

1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Davidova. Da nije Jahve za nas bio - neka slobodno rekne Izrael -

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

2 da nije Jahve za nas bio: kad se ljudi digoše proti nama,

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3 žive bi nas progutali. Kad je uskipio bijes njihov na nas,

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

5 vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

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

7 Duša je naša poput ptice umakla iz zamke lovaca: raskinula se zamka, a mi umakosmo!

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

8 Pomoć je naša u imenu Jahve koji stvori nebo i zemlju.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
