Psalms 124

1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

Hodočasnička pjesma. Davidova. Da nije Jahve za nas bio - neka slobodno rekne Izrael -

2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

da nije Jahve za nas bio: kad se ljudi digoše proti nama,

3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

žive bi nas progutali. Kad je uskipio bijes njihov na nas,

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

Duša je naša poput ptice umakla iz zamke lovaca: raskinula se zamka, a mi umakosmo!

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

Pomoć je naša u imenu Jahve koji stvori nebo i zemlju.
