od Biblion1Davidova poutní píseň. Kdyby s námi nebyl Hospodin – jen řekni, Izraeli:2Kdyby s námi nebyl Hospodin tenkrát, když nás lidé napadli,3tehdy by nás byli zaživa spolykali ve svém zuřivém běsnění.4Tehdy by nás byly vody odplavily, naše životy proud by pohltil.5Tehdy by nás byly pohltily vody v onom vzedmutí.6Požehnán buď Hospodin, že nás nevydal jejich tesákům napospas!7Jak ptáče unikli jsme z pasti ptáčníka, my jsme unikli, léčka selhala!8Naše pomoc je ve jménu Hospodin – nebe i zemi on sám učinil!
1A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say— (Ž 94,17; Ž 120,1; Ž 129,1)2if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; (Ž 56,1)4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; (Jb 22,11; Ž 32,6; Ž 69,1; Ž 69,2; Iz 8,8)5then over us would have gone the raging waters.6Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! (Ž 91,3)8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Ž 121,2)
