المَزامِير 124

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ،

A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

٢ 2 لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا، عِنْدَمَا قَامَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا.

Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

٣ 3 لابْتَلَعُونَا وَنَحْنُ أَحْيَاءُ، عِنْدَمَا احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُمْ عَلَيْنَا،

Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

٤ 4 وَلَجَرَفَتْنَا الْمِيَاهُ، وَلَطَمَا السَّيْلُ عَلَيْنَا،

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

٥ 5 وَلَطَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ العَاتِيَةُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا.

Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا فَرِيسَةً لأَسْنَانِ أَعْدَائِنَا.

Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

٧ 7 نَجَتْ نُفُوسُنَا كَالْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ الصَّيَّادِينَ: انْكَسَرَ الْفَخُّ وَنَجَوْنَا.

Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

٨ 8 عَوْنُنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ صَانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
