Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

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