Psalmi 124

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

A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

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 they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.

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

The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

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

Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

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

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.

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

We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

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

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