Псалтирь 124

1 Яко аще не Господь бы был в нас, да речет убо Израиль:

A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 яко аще не Господь бы был в нас, внегда востати человеком на ны, убо живых пожерли быша нас:

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 внегда прогневатися ярости их на ны, убо вода потопила бы нас.

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Поток прейде душа наша:

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 убо прейде душа наша воду непостоянную.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Благословен Господь, иже не даде нас в ловитву зубом их.

Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Душа наша яко птица избавися от сети ловящих: сеть сокрушися, и мы избавлени быхом.

Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Помощь наша во имя Господа, сотворшаго небо и землю.

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