< Psalms 124 >

1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ:١
2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
«لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا،٢
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا،٣
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا.٤
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ».٥
6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ.٦
7 Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare [is] broken, and we have escaped.
ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا.٧
8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ.٨
