< Psalms 124 >
1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—
Pesem preizvrstna Davidova. Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, reci zdaj Izrael;
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, ko so vstajali zoper nas ljudje,
3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
Žive bi nas bili tedaj pogoltnili, ko je njih jeza togotila se zoper nas.
4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
Tedaj bi nas bile poplavile one vode; hudournik bi bil šel čez nas.
5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.
Tedaj bi bil šel čez nas hudournik vode silno prevzetne.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Blagoslovljen Gospod, ki nas ni izpostavil za plen njih zobom!
7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
Duša naša je bila kakor tičica oteta tičarjev zanke; iz zanke pretrgane smo bili mi oteti.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Pomoč naša v imenu Gospoda, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo!
