< Psalmi 124 >

1 Dāvida svētku dziesma. Ja Tas Kungs pie mums nebūtu bijis, tā lai jel Israēls saka,
You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?
2 Ja Tas Kungs pie mums nebūtu bijis, kad cilvēki pret mums cēlās:
When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,
3 Tad tie mūs dzīvus būtu aprijuši, kad viņu dusmība pret mums apskaitās;
we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!
4 Tad ūdens mūs būtu apslīcinājis, un upes būtu plūdušas pār mūsu dvēseli;
[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 Tad augsti viļņi būtu gājuši pār mūsu dvēseli.
and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).
6 Lai Tas Kungs ir slavēts, kas mūs nav nodevis viņu zobiem par laupījumu.
[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 Mūsu dvēsele ir izglābta, kā putns no mednieka valgiem: valgs pārrauts, un mēs esam izglābti.
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 Mūsu palīdzība ir iekš Tā Kunga vārda, kas radījis debesis un zemi.
Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
