Žalmy 124

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

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

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

if it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

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

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

5 Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

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