Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

Яко аще не Господь бы был в нас, да речет убо Израиль:

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for 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 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

внегда прогневатися ярости их на ны, убо вода потопила бы нас.

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

Поток прейде душа наша:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

убо прейде душа наша воду непостоянную.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

Благословен Господь, иже не даде нас в ловитву зубом их.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Душа наша яко птица избавися от сети ловящих: сеть сокрушися, и мы избавлени быхом.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

Помощь наша во имя Господа, сотворшаго небо и землю.
