Псалми 124
1 Пісня проча́н. Давидова.
You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?
When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,
3 то нас поковта́ли б живце́м, коли розпали́вся на нас їхній гнів,
we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!
4 то нас позалива́ла б вода, душу нашу поті́к перейшов би.
[They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,
5 душу нашу тоді перейшла б та бурхли́ва вода!
and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).
6 Благослове́нний Госпо́дь, що не дав нас на здо́бич для їхніх зубі́в!
[But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].
7 Душа наша, як птах, урятува́лась із сільця́ птахоло́вів, — сільце́ розірва́лось, а ми врятува́лись!
We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!
8 Наша поміч — ув Імені Господа, що вчинив небо й землю!
Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
