اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 124

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

A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;

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

if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

٣ 3 إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا،

verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

٤ 4 إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا.

verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

٥ 5 إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ».

Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ.

Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

٨ 8 عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
