Žalmy 124

1 Píseň stupňů, Davidova. Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, rciž nyní, Izraeli,

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

2 Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, když lidé povstali proti nám:

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 Tehdáž by nás byli za živa sehltili v rozpálení hněvu svého proti nám;

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

4 Tehdáž by nás byly přikvačily vody, proud zachvátil by byl duši naši;

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

6 Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nás nevydal v loupež zubům jejich.

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

7 Duše naše jako ptáče znikla osídla ptáčníků; osídlo se ztrhalo, i vynikli jsme.

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

8 Pomoc naše jest ve jménu Hospodinovu, kterýž učinil nebe i zemi.

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