< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 124 >
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: | ١ 1 |
A song of ascents. Of David. “Had it not been the Lord who was for us” let Israel say
«لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا، | ٢ 2 |
“Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,
إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا، | ٣ 3 |
then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.
إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. | ٤ 4 |
Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:
إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ». | ٥ 5 |
then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.”
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.
ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا. | ٧ 7 |
We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٨ 8 |
Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
