Žalmy 124

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

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

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

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

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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.
