1Kanto de suprenirado. De David. Se la Eternulo ne estus kun ni, Diru nun Izrael,
1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2Se la Eternulo ne estus kun ni, Kiam homoj levigxis kontraux ni:
2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;
3Tiam ili englutus nin vivajn, Kiam ekflamis kontraux ni ilia kolero;
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4Tiam dronigus nin akvo, torento kovrus nian animon;
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
5Tiam kovrus nian animon pereiga akvo.
5then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6Benata estu la Eternulo, Kiu ne fordonis nin kiel rabakiron al iliaj dentoj.
6Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Nia animo liberigxis, kiel birdo el la reto de kaptistoj; La reto dissxirigxis, kaj ni liberigxis.
7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8Nia helpo estas en la nomo de la Eternulo, Kiu kreis la cxielon kaj la teron.
8Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
