Psalmi 124

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

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

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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.
