< תהילים 124 >
שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 1 |
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ בְּקוּם עָלֵינוּ אָדָֽם׃ | 2 |
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
אֲזַי חַיִּים בְּלָעוּנוּ בַּחֲרוֹת אַפָּם בָּֽנוּ׃ | 3 |
Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
אֲזַי הַמַּיִם שְׁטָפוּנוּ נַחְלָה עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ׃ | 4 |
Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
אֲזַי עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵׁנוּ הַמַּיִם הַזֵּידוֹנִֽים׃ | 5 |
Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה שֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָנוּ טֶרֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃ | 6 |
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
נַפְשֵׁנוּ כְּצִפּוֹר נִמְלְטָה מִפַּח יוֹקְשִׁים הַפַּח נִשְׁבָּר וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃ | 7 |
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
עֶזְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 8 |
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
