< Psalms 124 >
1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;
Яко аще не Господь бы был в нас, да речет убо Израиль:
2 if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;
яко аще не Господь бы был в нас, внегда востати человеком на ны, убо живых пожерли быша нас:
3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
внегда прогневатися ярости их на ны, убо вода потопила бы нас.
4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.
Поток прейде душа наша:
5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.
убо прейде душа наша воду непостоянную.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
Благословен Господь, иже не даде нас в ловитву зубом их.
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 яко птица избавися от сети ловящих: сеть сокрушися, и мы избавлени быхом.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Помощь наша во имя Господа, сотворшаго небо и землю.
