Psalmi 124

1 Če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, lahko sedaj reče Izrael,

A Song of Ascents. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

2 če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, ko so ljudje vstali zoper nas,

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

3 tedaj [bi] nas žive požrli, ko je bil njihov bes vžgan zoper nas,

Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

4 tedaj [bi] nas vode preplavile, vodni tok [bi] tekel preko naše duše,

Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;

5 tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.

Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

6 Blagoslovljen [bodi] Gospod, ki nas ni izročil njihovim zobem kakor plen.

Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth.

7 Naša duša je kakor ptica ušla iz zanke ptičarjev; zanka je pretrgana in mi smo ušli.

Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are escaped:

8 Naša pomoč je v imenu Gospodovem, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.

Our help, is in the Name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
