Psalms 124

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

Песнь восхождения. Давида. Если бы не Господь был с нами, - да скажет Израиль, -

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

если бы не Господь был с нами, когда восстали на нас люди,

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

то живых они поглотили бы нас, когда возгорелась ярость их на нас;

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,

воды потопили бы нас, поток прошел быв над душею нашею;

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

прошли бы над душею нашею воды бурные.

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].

Благословен Господь, Который не дал нас в добычу зубам их!

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!

Душа наша избавилась, как птица, из сети ловящих: сеть расторгнута, и мы избавились.

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

Помощь наша - в имени Господа, сотворившего небо и землю.
