Псалми 124
1 Пісня проча́н. Давидова.
“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;
If it had not been the Lord who was for us, when men rose up against us:
3 то нас поковта́ли б живце́м, коли розпали́вся на нас їхній гнів,
Then would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 то нас позалива́ла б вода, душу нашу поті́к перейшов би.
Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;
5 душу нашу тоді перейшла б та бурхли́ва вода!
Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.
6 Благослове́нний Госпо́дь, що не дав нас на здо́бич для їхніх зубі́в!
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us up as a prey to their teeth.
7 Душа наша, як птах, урятува́лась із сільця́ птахоло́вів, — сільце́ розірва́лось, а ми врятува́лись!
Our soul is escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Наша поміч — ув Імені Господа, що вчинив небо й землю!
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
