Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

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

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

Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

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

Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nás nevydal v loupež zubům jejich.

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

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.
