Psalms 124

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should 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 for us, when men rose up against us:

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

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

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

4 Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

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

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

7 Our soul is escaped like 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, the maker of heaven and earth.

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