Psalms 124

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

سرود زائران به هنگام بالا رفتن به اورشلیم. مزمور داوود. اگر خداوند با ما نمی‌بود چه می‌شد؟ بگذار اسرائیل بگوید:

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

اگر خداوند با ما نمی‌بود هنگامی که دشمنان بر ما یورش آوردند،

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

آنها در خشم آتشین خود ما را زنده می‌بلعیدند!

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

سیل ما را با خود می‌بُرد و آبها از سر ما می‌گذشت.

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

آری، در گردابها غرق می‌شدیم!

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

سپاس بر خداوند که نگذاشت ما شکار دندانهای آنها شویم.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

همچون پرنده، از دام صیاد گریختیم. دام پاره شد و ما نجات یافتیم.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

مددکار ما خداوند است که آسمان و زمین را آفرید.
