< مزامیر 124 >
سرود زائران به هنگام بالا رفتن به اورشلیم. مزمور داوود. اگر خداوند با ما نمیبود چه میشد؟ بگذار اسرائیل بگوید: | 1 |
A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among 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 among us, when men rose up against us;
آنها در خشم آتشین خود ما را زنده میبلعیدند! | 3 |
verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
سیل ما را با خود میبُرد و آبها از سر ما میگذشت. | 4 |
verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.
آری، در گردابها غرق میشدیم! | 5 |
Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.
سپاس بر خداوند که نگذاشت ما شکار دندانهای آنها شویم. | 6 |
Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
همچون پرنده، از دام صیاد گریختیم. دام پاره شد و ما نجات یافتیم. | 7 |
Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: 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.
