Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

8 Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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