Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

今イスラエルはいふべし ヱホバもしわれらの方にいまさず

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

人々われらにさからひて起りたつとき ヱホバもし我儕のかたに在さざりしならんには

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

かれらの怒のわれらにむかひておこりし時 われらを生るままにて呑しならん

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

また水はわれらをおほひ 流はわれらの霊魂をうちこえ

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

高ぶる水はわれらの霊魂をうちこえしならん

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

ヱホバはほむべきかな我儕をかれらの歯にわたして噛くらはせたまはざりき

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

我儕のたましひは捕鳥者のわなをのがるる鳥のごとくにのがれたり 羅はやぶれてわれらはのがれたり

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

われらの助は天地をつくりたまへるヱホバの名にあり
