Psalmi 124

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

A song of ascents. Of David. “Had it not been the Lord who was for us” let Israel say

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

“Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

5 vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.”

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

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

We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
