Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

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

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

Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

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

Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nás nevydal v loupež zubům jejich.

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.

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.
