Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

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 Yahweh who was on our side 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 then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged 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 The water would have swept us away; 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 drowned us.”

高ぶる水はわれらの霊魂をうちこえしならん

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by 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 out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been 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 Yahweh, 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
