< Псалми 124 >
1 Пісня проча́н. Давидова.
A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;
if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;
3 то нас поковта́ли б живце́м, коли розпали́вся на нас їхній гнів,
verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 то нас позалива́ла б вода, душу нашу поті́к перейшов би.
verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.
5 душу нашу тоді перейшла б та бурхли́ва вода!
Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.
6 Благослове́нний Госпо́дь, що не дав нас на здо́бич для їхніх зубі́в!
Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
7 Душа наша, як птах, урятува́лась із сільця́ птахоло́вів, — сільце́ розірва́лось, а ми врятува́лись!
Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8 Наша поміч — ув Імені Господа, що вчинив небо й землю!
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
