Zsoltárok 124

1 Grádicsok éneke, Dávidtól. Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, így szóljon Izráel,

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:

2 Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, mikor ránk támadtak az emberek:

If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

3 Akkor elevenen nyeltek volna el minket, a mint felgerjedt haragjok ellenünk;

They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

4 Akkor elborítottak volna minket a vizek, patak futott volna át felettünk;

Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

5 Akkor átfutottak volna rajtunk a felbőszült vizek.

They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

6 Áldott az Úr, a ki nem adott minket fogaik prédájául!

Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

7 Lelkünk megszabadult, mint a madár, a madarásznak tőréből. A tőr elszakadt, mi pedig megszabadultunk.

We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!

8 A mi segítségünk az Úr nevében van, a ki teremtette az eget és földet.

Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
