Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Pesem preizvrstna Davidova. Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, reci zdaj Izrael;

2 if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

Ako bi nam Gospod ne bil pomagal, ko so vstajali zoper nas ljudje,

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

Žive bi nas bili tedaj pogoltnili, ko je njih jeza togotila se zoper nas.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

Tedaj bi nas bile poplavile one vode; hudournik bi bil šel čez nas.

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Tedaj bi bil šel čez nas hudournik vode silno prevzetne.

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Blagoslovljen Gospod, ki nas ni izpostavil za plen njih zobom!

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Duša naša je bila kakor tičica oteta tičarjev zanke; iz zanke pretrgane smo bili mi oteti.

8 Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.

Pomoč naša v imenu Gospoda, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo!
