Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Hodočasnička pjesma. Davidova. Da nije Jahve za nas bio - neka slobodno rekne Izrael -

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

da nije Jahve za nas bio: kad se ljudi digoše proti nama,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

žive bi nas progutali. Kad je uskipio bijes njihov na nas,

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

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

Duša je naša poput ptice umakla iz zamke lovaca: raskinula se zamka, a mi umakosmo!

8 Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.

Pomoć je naša u imenu Jahve koji stvori nebo i zemlju.
