Psalmi 124

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:

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

If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

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

They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

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

Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

5 Tad augsti viļņi būtu gājuši pār mūsu dvēseli.

They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

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

Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

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

We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!

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

Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
