Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

Če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, lahko sedaj reče Izrael,

2 ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

če ne bi bil Gospod, ki je bil na naši strani, ko so ljudje vstali zoper nas,

3 then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

tedaj [bi] nas žive požrli, ko je bil njihov bes vžgan zoper nas,

4 Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

tedaj [bi] nas vode preplavile, vodni tok [bi] tekel preko naše duše,

5 then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.

6 Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

Blagoslovljen [bodi] Gospod, ki nas ni izročil njihovim zobem kakor plen.

7 We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Naša duša je kakor ptica ušla iz zanke ptičarjev; zanka je pretrgana in mi smo ušli.

8 Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.

Naša pomoč je v imenu Gospodovem, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.
