Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

Яко аще не Господь бы был в нас, да речет убо Израиль:

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

яко аще не Господь бы был в нас, внегда востати человеком на ны, убо живых пожерли быша нас:

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

внегда прогневатися ярости их на ны, убо вода потопила бы нас.

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

Поток прейде душа наша:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

убо прейде душа наша воду непостоянную.

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

Благословен Господь, иже не даде нас в ловитву зубом их.

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

Душа наша яко птица избавися от сети ловящих: сеть сокрушися, и мы избавлени быхом.

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

Помощь наша во имя Господа, сотворшаго небо и землю.
