Psalmi 124

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

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

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

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

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 tedaj [bi] vode ponosa tekle preko naše duše.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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

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