Psalms 124

1 You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

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

2 When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

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

3 we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

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

4 [They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

6 [But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

7 We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

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

8 Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

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