< Псалми 124 >
1 Да није био Господ с нама, нека рече Израиљ,
“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;
2 Да није био Господ с нама, кад људи усташе на нас,
If it had not been the Lord who was for us, when men rose up against us:
3 Живе би нас прождрли, кад се распали гнев њихов на нас;
Then would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Потопила би нас вода, река би покрила душу нашу;
Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;
5 Покрила би душу нашу силна вода.
Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.
6 Благословен Господ, који нас не даде зубима њиховим да нас растржу!
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us up as a prey to their teeth.
7 Душа се наша избави као птица из замке ловачке; замка се раскиде, и ми се избависмо.
Our soul is escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
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.
