Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

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

2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

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

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

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

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

Tehdáž by nás byly přikvačily vody, proud zachvátil by byl duši naši;

5 Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

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

Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nás nevydal v loupež zubům jejich.

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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

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

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