Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tedaj bi bil šel čez nas hudournik vode silno prevzetne.

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

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

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

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!
