< Zəbur 124 >
1 Davudun ziyarət nəğməsi. İndi İsrail söyləsin: Rəbb tərəfimizi saxlamasaydı,
A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:
2 Bizə qarşı insanlar qalxarkən Rəbb tərəfimizi saxlamasaydı,
if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,
3 Bizə qarşı qəzəblərindən yanarkən Bizi diri-diri udardılar,
perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,
4 Sular bizi yuyub-aparardı, Sellər üstümüzü basardı,
perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.
5 Azğın sular üstümüzü basardı.
Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
6 Alqış olsun Rəbbə! O bizi onların dişlərinə ov etmədi.
Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
7 Bizi ovçunun tələsindən bir quş kimi qurtardı, Tələ qırıldı, canımız azad oldu.
Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.
8 Bizə Rəbbin adından, Göyləri və yeri yaradandan yardım gəlir.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
