Psalm 124 | Синодальный перевод

1 (123:1) Песнь восхождения. Давида. Если бы не Господь был с нами, – да скажет Израиль, –

2 (123:2) если бы не Господь был с нами, когда восстали на нас люди,

3 (123:3) то живых они поглотили бы нас, когда возгорелась ярость их на нас;

4 (123:4) воды потопили бы нас, поток прошел бы над душею нашею;

5 (123:5) прошли бы над душею нашею воды бурные.

6 (123:6) Благословен Господь, Который не дал нас в добычу зубам их!

7 (123:7) Душа наша избавилась, как птица, из сети ловящих: сеть расторгнута, и мы избавились.

8 (123:8) Помощь наша – в имени Господа, сотворившего небо и землю.

New International Reader’s Version

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.

1 Here is what Israel should say. Suppose the LORD had not been on our side.

2 Suppose the LORD had not been on our side when our enemies attacked us.

3 Suppose he had not been on our side when their burning anger blazed out against us. Then they would have swallowed us alive.

4 They would have been like a flood that drowned us. They would have swept over us like a rushing river.

5 They would have washed us away like a swollen stream.

6 Give praise to the LORD. He has not let our enemies chew us up.

7 We have escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap has been broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help comes from the LORD. He is the Maker of heaven and earth.
