Psalms 124

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

Pesem preizvrstna Davidova. Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, reci zdaj Izrael;

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

Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, ko so vstajali zoper nas ljudje,

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

Žive bi nas bili tedaj pogoltnili, ko je njih jeza togotila se zoper 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,

Tedaj bi nas bile poplavile one vode; hudournik bi bil šel čez nas.

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

Tedaj bi bil šel čez nas hudournik vode silno prevzetne.

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 Gospod, ki nas ni izpostavil za plen njih zobom!

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 naša je bila kakor tičica oteta tičarjev zanke; iz zanke pretrgane smo bili mi oteti.

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

Pomoč naša v imenu Gospoda, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo!
