Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, lahko sedaj reče Izrael,

2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, ko so ljudje vstali zoper nas,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

tedaj [bi] nas žive požrli, ko je bil njihov bes vžgan zoper nas,

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

tedaj [bi] nas vode preplavile, vodni tok [bi] tekel preko naše duše,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.

6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.

Blagoslovljen [bodi] Gospod, ki nas ni izročil njihovim zobem kakor plen.

7 Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare [is] broken, and we have escaped.

Naša duša je kakor ptica ušla iz zanke ptičarjev; zanka je pretrgana in mi smo ušli.

8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Naša pomoč je v imenu Gospodovem, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.
