Psalmi 124

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

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

Blessed [is] YHWH 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!

Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!
