Псалтирь 124

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

A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now 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 would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

4 Поток прейде душа наша:

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

5 убо прейде душа наша воду непостоянную.

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be the LORD, who has 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

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