Pateicība par izglābšanu
1 Dāvida augšupceļa dziesma.
Ja ne Kungs, kurš tad bija ar mums,
lai pasaka Israēls, –
2 ja ne Kungs, kurš tad bija ar mums,
kad ļaudis cēlās pret mums,
3 tie mūs dzīvus būtu aprijuši,
tā dega to dusmas uz mums!
4 Tad ūdeņi veltos pār mums,
straume celtos mums pāri,
5 tad veltos mums pāri
trakulīgie ūdeņi!
6 Teikts lai Kungs, kurš nedeva mūs
par laupījumu viņu zobiem!
7 Mēs kā putni tikām projām no mednieku cilpas –
cilpa ir pušu, un mēs prom!
8 Palīgs mums Kunga vārds –
tā, kurš radījis debesis un zemi!
(A song by David for worship.)
Thanking the Lord for Victory
1 The Lord was on our side!
Let everyone in Israel say:
2 “The Lord was on our side!
Otherwise, the enemy attack
3 would have killed us all,
because it was furious.
4 We would have been swept away
in a violent flood
5 of high and roaring waves.”
6 Let's praise the Lord!
He protected us from enemies
who were like wild animals,
7 and we escaped like birds
from a hunter's torn net.
8 The Lord made heaven and earth,
and he is the one
who sends us help.
