المَزامِير 124

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

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

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

٣ 3 لابْتَلَعُونَا وَنَحْنُ أَحْيَاءُ، عِنْدَمَا احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُمْ عَلَيْنَا،

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

٤ 4 وَلَجَرَفَتْنَا الْمِيَاهُ، وَلَطَمَا السَّيْلُ عَلَيْنَا،

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

٥ 5 وَلَطَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ العَاتِيَةُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا.

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا فَرِيسَةً لأَسْنَانِ أَعْدَائِنَا.

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

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

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

٨ 8 عَوْنُنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ صَانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
