Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

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 it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against 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 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

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 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

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 for a 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 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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, who made 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
