< Žalmy 124 >

1 Píseň stupňů, Davidova. Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, rciž nyní, Izraeli,
A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,
2 Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, když lidé povstali proti nám:
“if it had not been Yahweh 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 anger raged against us.
4 Tehdáž by nás byly přikvačily vody, proud zachvátil by byl duši naši;
The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.
5 Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.
Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”
6 Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nás nevydal v loupež zubům jejich.
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.
7 Duše naše jako ptáče znikla osídla ptáčníků; osídlo se ztrhalo, i vynikli jsme.
We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8 Pomoc naše jest ve jménu Hospodinovu, kterýž učinil nebe i zemi.
Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
