1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

1 Grádicsok éneke, Dávidtól.

2 Ha nem az Úr az, a ki velünk volt, mikor ránk támadtak az emberek:

3 Akkor elevenen nyeltek volna el minket, a mint felgerjedt haragjok ellenünk;

4 Akkor elborítottak volna minket a vizek, patak futott volna át felettünk;

5 Akkor átfutottak volna rajtunk a felbõszült vizek.

6 Áldott az Úr, a ki nem adott minket fogaik prédájául!

7 Lelkünk megszabadult, mint a madár, a madarásznak tõrébõl. A tõr elszakadt, mi pedig megszabadultunk.

8 A mi segítségünk az Úr nevében van, a ki teremtette az eget és földet.
