المَزامِير 124

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ،

A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

٢ 2 لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا، عِنْدَمَا قَامَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا.

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

٣ 3 لابْتَلَعُونَا وَنَحْنُ أَحْيَاءُ، عِنْدَمَا احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُمْ عَلَيْنَا،

Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:

٤ 4 وَلَجَرَفَتْنَا الْمِيَاهُ، وَلَطَمَا السَّيْلُ عَلَيْنَا،

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

٥ 5 وَلَطَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ العَاتِيَةُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا فَرِيسَةً لأَسْنَانِ أَعْدَائِنَا.

Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

٧ 7 نَجَتْ نُفُوسُنَا كَالْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ الصَّيَّادِينَ: انْكَسَرَ الْفَخُّ وَنَجَوْنَا.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

٨ 8 عَوْنُنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ صَانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
