Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

Da nije bio Gospod s nama, neka reèe Izrailj,

2 ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

Da nije bio Gospod s nama, kad ljudi ustaše na nas,

3 then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

Žive bi nas proždrli, kad se raspali gnjev njihov na nas;

4 Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

Potopila bi nas voda, rijeka bi pokrila dušu našu;

5 then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

Pokrila bi dušu našu silna voda.

6 Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

Blagosloven Gospod, koji nas ne dade zubima njihovijem da nas rastržu!

7 We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Duša se naša izbavi kao ptica iz zamke lovaèke; zamka se raskide, i mi se izbavismo.

8 Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.

Pomoæ je naša u imenu Gospodnjem, koji je stvorio nebo i zemlju.
