تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: ١ 1
A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
«لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا، ٢ 2
if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا، ٣ 3
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. ٤ 4
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ». ٥ 5
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ. ٦ 6
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا. ٧ 7
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. ٨ 8
Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
