Psalmi 124

1 Dāvida svētku dziesma. Ja Tas Kungs pie mums nebūtu bijis, tā lai jel Israēls saka,

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

2 Ja Tas Kungs pie mums nebūtu bijis, kad cilvēki pret mums cēlās:

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 Tad tie mūs dzīvus būtu aprijuši, kad viņu dusmība pret mums apskaitās;

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

4 Tad ūdens mūs būtu apslīcinājis, un upes būtu plūdušas pār mūsu dvēseli;

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 Tad augsti viļņi būtu gājuši pār mūsu dvēseli.

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

6 Lai Tas Kungs ir slavēts, kas mūs nav nodevis viņu zobiem par laupījumu.

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

7 Mūsu dvēsele ir izglābta, kā putns no mednieka valgiem: valgs pārrauts, un mēs esam izglābti.

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

8 Mūsu palīdzība ir iekš Tā Kunga vārda, kas radījis debesis un zemi.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
