Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;

Hodočasnička pjesma. Davidova. Da nije Jahve za nas bio - neka slobodno rekne Izrael -

2 if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

da nije Jahve za nas bio: kad se ljudi digoše proti nama,

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

žive bi nas progutali. Kad je uskipio bijes njihov na nas,

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

voda bi nas podavila; bujica bi nas odnijela,

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

vode pobješnjele sve nas potopile.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

Blagoslovljen Jahve koji nas ne dade za plijen zubima njihovim!

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Duša je naša poput ptice umakla iz zamke lovaca: raskinula se zamka, a mi umakosmo!

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Pomoć je naša u imenu Jahve koji stvori nebo i zemlju.
