Psalmi 124

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

“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;

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

If it had not been the Lord who was for us, when men rose up against us:

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

Then would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

5 vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us up 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 like 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, the maker of heaven and earth.
