1Palveteekonna laul Taavetilt. Kui Issand ei oleks olnud meiega - nii ütelgu Iisrael -,
1{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us -- oh let Israel say --
2kui Issand ei oleks olnud meiega, kui inimesed tulid meile kallale,
2If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
3siis nad oleksid meid elusalt neelanud, kui nende viha süttis meie vastu;
3Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4siis oleksid veed meid uputanud, jõgi oleks läinud üle meie hinge;
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
5siis oleksid ülbed veed läinud üle meie hinge.
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Tänu olgu Issandale, kes ei andnud meid nende hammaste saagiks!
6Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
7Meie hing on nagu lind pääsenud linnupüüdja paelust: paelad läksid katki ja me pääsesime ära.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8Meie abi on Issanda nimes, kes on teinud taeva ja maa.
8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
