Psalm 124 | Nya Levande Bibeln

Vi är fria!

1 Om Herren inte hade stått på vår sida - det kan hela Israel intyga - om Herren inte hade stått på vår sida,

2 då skulle våra fiender ha svalt oss levande och utplånat oss i sin ilska.

4 Vatten skulle ha övertäckt oss och dragit ner oss i djupen.

6 Välsignad vare Herren, som inte har låtit dem slita oss i stycken.

7 Vi har flytt för livet, som fåglar från jägarens snara. Men snaran har gått sönder, och vi är fria!

8 Vår hjälp kommer från Herren, som har skapat himmel och jord.

Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say—

2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,

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

4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

5 then over us would have gone the raging waters.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
