Psalmi 124

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

A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

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

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

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

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
