1{Pesem stopinj, Davidova.} Ako bi nam GOSPOD ne bil na strani, reci zdaj, Izrael,
1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2ako bi nam GOSPOD ne bil na strani, ko so vstali ljudje zoper nas:
2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;
3žive bi nas bili tedaj pogoltnili, ko se je vnela njih jeza proti nam.
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4Tedaj bi nas bile poplavile vode, hudournik bi bil šel čez dušo našo –
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
5tedaj bi bile šle čez dušo našo vode silno prevzetne.
5then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6Slavljen GOSPOD, ki nas ni izpostavil za plen njih zobem!
6Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Duša naša je odprhnila kakor ptičica iz ptičarjev zanke: zanka se je pretrgala, in mi smo odprhnili.Pomoč naša je v imenu GOSPODOVEM, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo.
7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8Pomoč naša je v imenu GOSPODOVEM, ki je naredil nebesa in zemljo.
8Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
