اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 124

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ:

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

٢ 2 «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا،

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

٣ 3 إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا،

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

٤ 4 إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا.

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

٥ 5 إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ».

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

٧ 7 ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

٨ 8 عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
