< Псалми 124 >
1 Да није био Господ с нама, нека рече Израиљ,
A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);
2 Да није био Господ с нама, кад људи усташе на нас,
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;
3 Живе би нас прождрли, кад се распали гнев њихов на нас;
They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
4 Потопила би нас вода, река би покрила душу нашу;
We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
5 Покрила би душу нашу силна вода.
Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
6 Благословен Господ, који нас не даде зубима њиховим да нас растржу!
Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
7 Душа се наша избави као птица из замке ловачке; замка се раскиде, и ми се избависмо.
Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
8 Помоћ је наша у имену Господњем, који је створио небо и земљу.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
