Psalm 124

Hoffnung für alle

Frei!

1 Ein Lied von David für Festbesucher, die nach Jerusalem hinaufziehen. Israel soll bekennen: Hätte der HERR uns nicht geholfen, 

2 als die Feinde uns angriffen, ja, wäre er nicht für uns eingetreten, 

3 dann hätten sie uns in ihrer Wut bei lebendigem Leib verschlungen. 

4 Dann hätten uns mächtige Wogen überschwemmt und Wildbäche uns fortgerissen. 

5 Wir alle wären in den tosenden Fluten versunken! 

6 Gepriesen sei der HERR! Er hat nicht zugelassen, dass sie uns zerfleischten. 

7 Wir sind ihnen entkommen wie ein Vogel aus dem Netz des Fallenstellers. Das Netz ist zerrissen, und wir sind frei! 

8 Ja, unsere Hilfe kommt vom HERRN, der Himmel und Erde erschaffen hat.

Psalm 124

English Standard Version

Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say— (Ps 94,17; Ps 120,1; Ps 129,1) 

2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us, 

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; (Ps 56,1) 

4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; (Hi 22,11; Ps 32,6; Ps 69,1; Ps 69,2; Jes 8,8) 

5 then over us would have gone the raging waters. 

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! 

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! (Ps 91,3) 

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Ps 121,2)
