Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

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 Yahweh 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 anger raged against us.

útrýmt okkur í heiftarreiði sinni.

4 The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

Við hefðum skolast burt á augabragði,

5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

horfið í strauminn.

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.

Lofaður sé Drottinn, hann bjargaði okkur úr klóm þeirra.

7 We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

Hjálp okkar kemur frá Drottni sem skapaði himin og jörð.
