詩篇 124

1 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

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

2 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

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

3 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

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

4 また水はわれらをおほひ 流はわれらの霊魂をうちこえ

Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

5 高ぶる水はわれらの霊魂をうちこえしならん

The proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 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

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

7 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

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

8 われらの助は天地をつくりたまへるヱホバの名にあり

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