Žalmy 124

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

“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;

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

If it had not been the Lord who was for us, when men rose up against us:

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

Then would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

5 Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

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

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

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

Our soul is escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

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