Psalms 124

1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

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

2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

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

3 Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

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

4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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.
