تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ، ١ 1
A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,
لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا، عِنْدَمَا قَامَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا. ٢ 2
“if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when men rose up against us,
لابْتَلَعُونَا وَنَحْنُ أَحْيَاءُ، عِنْدَمَا احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُمْ عَلَيْنَا، ٣ 3
then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.
وَلَجَرَفَتْنَا الْمِيَاهُ، وَلَطَمَا السَّيْلُ عَلَيْنَا، ٤ 4
The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.
وَلَطَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ العَاتِيَةُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. ٥ 5
Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”
مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا فَرِيسَةً لأَسْنَانِ أَعْدَائِنَا. ٦ 6
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.
نَجَتْ نُفُوسُنَا كَالْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ الصَّيَّادِينَ: انْكَسَرَ الْفَخُّ وَنَجَوْنَا. ٧ 7
We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
عَوْنُنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ صَانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ. ٨ 8
Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
