Psalms 124

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

Píseň stupňů, Davidova. Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, rciž nyní, Izraeli,

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

Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, když lidé povstali proti nám:

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

Tehdáž by nás byli za živa sehltili v rozpálení hněvu svého proti nám;

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

Tehdáž by nás byly přikvačily vody, proud zachvátil by byl duši naši;

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

Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

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

Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nás nevydal v loupež zubům jejich.

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

Duše naše jako ptáče znikla osídla ptáčníků; osídlo se ztrhalo, i vynikli jsme.

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

Pomoc naše jest ve jménu Hospodinovu, kterýž učinil nebe i zemi.
