תהילים 124

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

2 לוּלֵי יְהוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ בְּקוּם עָלֵינוּ אָדָֽם׃

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

3 אֲזַי חַיִּים בְּלָעוּנוּ בַּחֲרוֹת אַפָּם בָּֽנוּ׃

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned 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׃

The proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה שֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָנוּ טֶרֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃

Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us a prey to their teeth!

7 נַפְשֵׁנוּ כְּצִפּוֹר נִמְלְטָה מִפַּח יוֹקְשִׁים הַפַּח נִשְׁבָּר וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 עֶזְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃

Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
