اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 124

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ:

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

٢ 2 «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا،

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

٣ 3 إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا،

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

٤ 4 إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا.

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

٥ 5 إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ».

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

٧ 7 ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا.

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

٨ 8 عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
