Zsoltárok 124

1 Zarándoklás éneke. Dávidtól. Ha nem az Örökkévaló az, ki velünk volt – így szóljon Izraél

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

2 ha nem az Örökkévaló az, ki velünk volt, midőn ránk támadtak emberek:

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

3 akkor elevenen nyeltek volna el bennünket, midőn haragjuk föllobbant ellenünk;

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

4 akkor a vizek elsodortak volna bennünket, patak ment volna át lelkünk fölött;

[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,

5 akkor átmentek volna lelkünk fölött a kevély vizek.

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

6 Áldva Iegyen az Örökkévaló, ki nem adott bennünket ragadmányul fogaiknak!

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

7 Lelkünk mint a madár megmenekült a madarászok tőréből; a tőr eltörött és mi megmenekültünk.

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!

8 Segítségünk az Örökkévaló nevében van, ki égnek és földnek teremtője.

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