Zsoltárok 124

1 Grádicsok éneke, Dávidtól. Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, így szóljon Izráel,

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 Úr az, a ki velünk volt, mikor ránk támadtak az emberek:

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

3 Akkor elevenen nyeltek volna el minket, a mint felgerjedt haragjok ellenünk;

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

4 Akkor elborítottak volna minket a vizek, patak futott volna át felettünk;

[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 átfutottak volna rajtunk a felbőszült vizek.

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

6 Áldott az Úr, a ki nem adott minket fogaik prédájául!

[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 megszabadult, mint a madár, a madarásznak tőréből. A tőr elszakadt, mi pedig megszabadultunk.

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 A mi segítségünk az Úr nevében van, a ki teremtette az eget és földet.

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