Psalms 124

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

Če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, lahko sedaj reče Izrael,

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, ko so ljudje vstali zoper nas,

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

tedaj [bi] nas žive požrli, ko je bil njihov bes vžgan zoper nas,

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

tedaj [bi] nas vode preplavile, vodni tok [bi] tekel preko naše duše,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.

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

Blagoslovljen [bodi] Gospod, ki nas ni izročil njihovim zobem kakor plen.

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

Naša duša je kakor ptica ušla iz zanke ptičarjev; zanka je pretrgana in mi smo ušli.

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

Naša pomoč je v imenu Gospodovem, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.
