< مزامیر 124 >
سرود زائران به هنگام بالا رفتن به اورشلیم. مزمور داوود. اگر خداوند با ما نمیبود چه میشد؟ بگذار اسرائیل بگوید: | 1 |
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
اگر خداوند با ما نمیبود هنگامی که دشمنان بر ما یورش آوردند، | 2 |
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
آنها در خشم آتشین خود ما را زنده میبلعیدند! | 3 |
Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
سیل ما را با خود میبُرد و آبها از سر ما میگذشت. | 4 |
Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
آری، در گردابها غرق میشدیم! | 5 |
Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
سپاس بر خداوند که نگذاشت ما شکار دندانهای آنها شویم. | 6 |
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
همچون پرنده، از دام صیاد گریختیم. دام پاره شد و ما نجات یافتیم. | 7 |
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
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.
