Psalms 124

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

Če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, lahko sedaj reče Izrael,

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

če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, ko so ljudje vstali zoper nas,

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

tedaj [bi] nas žive požrli, ko je bil njihov bes vžgan zoper nas,

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

tedaj [bi] nas vode preplavile, vodni tok [bi] tekel preko naše duše,

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

tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.

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

Blagoslovljen [bodi] Gospod, ki nas ni izročil njihovim zobem kakor plen.

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

Naša duša je kakor ptica ušla iz zanke ptičarjev; zanka je pretrgana in mi smo ušli.

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

Naša pomoč je v imenu Gospodovem, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.
