Psalmi 124

1 Da nije bio Gospod s nama, neka reèe Izrailj,

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

2 Da nije bio Gospod s nama, kad ljudi ustaše na nas,

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

3 Žive bi nas proždrli, kad se raspali gnjev njihov na nas;

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

4 Potopila bi nas voda, rijeka bi pokrila dušu našu;

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 Pokrila bi dušu našu silna voda.

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

6 Blagosloven Gospod, koji nas ne dade zubima njihovijem da nas rastržu!

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

7 Duša se naša izbavi kao ptica iz zamke lovaèke; zamka se raskide, i mi se izbavismo.

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 Pomoæ je naša u imenu Gospodnjem, koji je stvorio nebo i zemlju.

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