תהילים 124

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד לוּלֵי יְהוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ יֹֽאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 לוּלֵי יְהוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ בְּקוּם עָלֵינוּ אָדָֽם׃

If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 אֲזַי חַיִּים בְּלָעוּנוּ בַּחֲרוֹת אַפָּם בָּֽנוּ׃

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 אֲזַי הַמַּיִם שְׁטָפוּנוּ נַחְלָה עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ׃

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 אֲזַי עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵׁנוּ הַמַּיִם הַזֵּֽידוֹנִֽים׃

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה שֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָנוּ טֶרֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃

Blessed be YHWH, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 נַפְשֵׁנוּ כְּצִפּוֹר נִמְלְטָה מִפַּח יוֹקְשִׁים הַפַּח נִשְׁבָּר וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 עֶזְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃

Our help is in the name of YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
