Psalmi 124

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

A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

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

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

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

They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

5 vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

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

Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

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

Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

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.
