< Psalms 124 >
1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);
Grádicsok éneke, Dávidtól. Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, így szóljon Izráel,
2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;
Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, mikor ránk támadtak az emberek:
3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
Akkor elevenen nyeltek volna el minket, a mint felgerjedt haragjok ellenünk;
4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
Akkor elborítottak volna minket a vizek, patak futott volna át felettünk;
5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
Akkor átfutottak volna rajtunk a felbőszült vizek.
6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
Áldott az Úr, a ki nem adott minket fogaik prédájául!
7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
Lelkünk megszabadult, mint a madár, a madarásznak tőréből. A tőr elszakadt, mi pedig megszabadultunk.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
A mi segítségünk az Úr nevében van, a ki teremtette az eget és földet.
