Psalms 124

1 IF it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Hodočasnička pjesma. Davidova. Da nije Jahve za nas bio - neka slobodno rekne Izrael -

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

da nije Jahve za nas bio: kad se ljudi digoše proti nama,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

žive bi nas progutali. Kad je uskipio bijes njihov na nas,

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

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

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

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

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

Duša je naša poput ptice umakla iz zamke lovaca: raskinula se zamka, a mi umakosmo!

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

Pomoć je naša u imenu Jahve koji stvori nebo i zemlju.
