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 Song of Ascents. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might 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 it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, 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, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger 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 whelmed us, the torrent, 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

Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

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 Yahweh, who gave us not as 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

Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
