Psalmi 124

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel 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 rose up against us:

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream 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 the LORD, who has not given us as 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 are escaped.

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

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