Psalms 124

1 You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

Пісня проча́н. Давидова.

2 When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

3 we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

то нас поковта́ли б живце́м, коли розпали́вся на нас їхній гнів,

4 [They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

то нас позалива́ла б вода, душу нашу поті́к перейшов би.

5 and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

душу нашу тоді перейшла б та бурхли́ва вода!

6 [But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

Благослове́нний Госпо́дь, що не дав нас на здо́бич для їхніх зубі́в!

7 We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

Душа наша, як птах, урятува́лась із сільця́ птахоло́вів, — сільце́ розірва́лось, а ми врятува́лись!

8 Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

Наша поміч — ув Імені Господа, що вчинив небо й землю!
