Psalmi 124

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

A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

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

if it had not been Yahweh 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 would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

4 voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

5 vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Yahweh, 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
