< Psalms 124 >
1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:
Grádicsok éneke, Dávidtól. Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, így szóljon Izráel,
2 If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?
Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, mikor ránk támadtak az emberek:
3 They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.
Akkor elevenen nyeltek volna el minket, a mint felgerjedt haragjok ellenünk;
4 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.
Akkor elborítottak volna minket a vizek, patak futott volna át felettünk;
5 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.
Akkor átfutottak volna rajtunk a felbőszült vizek.
6 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.
Áldott az Úr, a ki nem adott minket fogaik prédájául!
7 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!
Lelkünk megszabadult, mint a madár, a madarásznak tőréből. A tőr elszakadt, mi pedig megszabadultunk.
8 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
A mi segítségünk az Úr nevében van, a ki teremtette az eget és földet.
