Psalms 124

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

Pesem preizvrstna Davidova. Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, reci zdaj Izrael;

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

Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, ko so vstajali zoper nas ljudje,

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

Žive bi nas bili tedaj pogoltnili, ko je njih jeza togotila se zoper nas.

4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

Tedaj bi nas bile poplavile one vode; hudournik bi bil šel čez nas.

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

Tedaj bi bil šel čez nas hudournik vode silno prevzetne.

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

Blagoslovljen Gospod, ki nas ni izpostavil za plen njih zobom!

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 naša je bila kakor tičica oteta tičarjev zanke; iz zanke pretrgane smo bili mi oteti.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Pomoč naša v imenu Gospoda, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo!
