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.
