Psalmen 123
Petrus Canisius Bible, 1939 (De Heilige Schrift)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Een bedevaartslied. Tot U hef ik mijn ogen omhoog, Tot U, die troont in de hemel!
1If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2Zie, als de ogen van slaven op de hand hunner meesters, En het oog der slavin op de hand van haar gebiedster: Zo zijn ònze ogen op Jahweh gericht, Onzen God, totdat Hij Zich onzer erbarmt.
2If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
3Ontferm U onzer, o Jahweh. Ach, erbarm U over ons! Want we zijn met hoon overkropt,
3Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4En onze ziel is er zat van: Door de spot van de snoevers, Door de smaad van de trotsen.
4Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
