Psalms 124

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

ダビデがよんだ都もうでの歌 今、イスラエルは言え、主がもしわれらの方におられなかったならば、

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

人々がわれらに逆らって立ちあがったとき、主がもしわれらの方におられなかったならば、

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

彼らの怒りがわれらにむかって燃えたったとき、彼らはわれらを生きているままで、のんだであろう。

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

また大水はわれらを押し流し、激流はわれらの上を越え、

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

さか巻く水はわれらの上を越えたであろう。

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

主はほむべきかな。主はわれらをえじきとして彼らの歯にわたされなかった。

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

われらは野鳥を捕えるわなをのがれる鳥のようにのがれた。わなは破れてわれらはのがれた。

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

われらの助けは天地を造られた主のみ名にある。
