¹Pieseň na cestu hore do Jeruzalema. Dávidova. Keby s nami nebol býval Hospodin - Nech tak povie Izrael! -,

¹A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

²keby s nami nebol býval Hospodin, keď povstal proti nám človek,

²Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

³vtedy by nás boli pohltili živých v rozpálení svojho hnevu proti nám;

³Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

⁴vtedy by nás boly zatopily vody; prúd by sa bol prevalil cez našu dušu!

⁴Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

⁵Vtedy by sa boly prevalily tie pyšné vody cez našu dušu!

⁵Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

⁶Požehnaný Hospodin, ktorý nás nedal za korisť ich zubom.

⁶Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

⁷Naša duša unikla jako vtáča z osídla lovca. Osídlo sa potrhalo, a my sme unikli.

⁷Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

⁸Naša pomoc je vo mene Hospodinovom, ktorý učinil nebesia i zem.

⁸Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
