< Psalmi 124 >
1 Če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, lahko sedaj reče Izrael,
A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2 če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, ko so ljudje vstali zoper nas,
if it had not been the LORD 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 wrath was kindled against us,
4 tedaj [bi] nas vode preplavile, vodni tok [bi] tekel preko naše duše,
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
5 tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6 Blagoslovljen [bodi] Gospod, ki nas ni izročil njihovim zobem kakor plen.
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Naša duša je kakor ptica ušla iz zanke ptičarjev; zanka je pretrgana in mi smo ušli.
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 Naša pomoč je v imenu Gospodovem, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.
Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
