Psalms 124

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

Пісня проча́н. Давидова.

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

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

то нас поковта́ли б живце́м, коли розпали́вся на нас їхній гнів,

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

то нас позалива́ла б вода, душу нашу поті́к перейшов би.

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

душу нашу тоді перейшла б та бурхли́ва вода!

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

Благослове́нний Госпо́дь, що не дав нас на здо́бич для їхніх зубі́в!

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

Душа наша, як птах, урятува́лась із сільця́ птахоло́вів, — сільце́ розірва́лось, а ми врятува́лись!

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

Наша поміч — ув Імені Господа, що вчинив небо й землю!
