< مزامیر 124 >
سرود زائران به هنگام بالا رفتن به اورشلیم. مزمور داوود. اگر خداوند با ما نمیبود چه میشد؟ بگذار اسرائیل بگوید: | 1 |
A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:
اگر خداوند با ما نمیبود هنگامی که دشمنان بر ما یورش آوردند، | 2 |
if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,
آنها در خشم آتشین خود ما را زنده میبلعیدند! | 3 |
perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,
سیل ما را با خود میبُرد و آبها از سر ما میگذشت. | 4 |
perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.
آری، در گردابها غرق میشدیم! | 5 |
Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
سپاس بر خداوند که نگذاشت ما شکار دندانهای آنها شویم. | 6 |
Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
همچون پرنده، از دام صیاد گریختیم. دام پاره شد و ما نجات یافتیم. | 7 |
Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.
مددکار ما خداوند است که آسمان و زمین را آفرید. | 8 |
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
