Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel 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 YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man 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 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger 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 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

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 proud waters had passed over our soul.

高ぶる水はわれらの霊魂をうちこえしならん

6 Blessed [is] YHWH 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 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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 YHWH, Maker of the heavens 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
