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;

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

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

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

Tedaj bi bil šel čez nas hudournik vode silno prevzetne.

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

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

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

Pomoč naša v imenu Gospoda, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo!
