تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: ١ 1
A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;
«لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا، ٢ 2
if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;
إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا، ٣ 3
verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. ٤ 4
verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.
إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ». ٥ 5
Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ. ٦ 6
Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا. ٧ 7
Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. ٨ 8
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
