Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Hefði það ekki verið Drottinn sem með okkur var þetta skulu allir í Ísrael játa – hefði það ekki verið Drottinn,

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

þá hefðu óvinirnir gleypt okkur lifandi,

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

útrýmt okkur í heiftarreiði sinni.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

Við hefðum skolast burt á augabragði,

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

horfið í strauminn.

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

Lofaður sé Drottinn, hann bjargaði okkur úr klóm þeirra.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Við sluppum eins og fugl úr snöru veiðimanns. Snaran gaf sig og við flugum burt!

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

Hjálp okkar kemur frá Drottni sem skapaði himin og jörð.
