詩篇 124

1 今イスラエルはいふべし ヱホバもしわれらの方にいまさず

[A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

2 人々われらにさからひて起りたつとき ヱホバもし我儕のかたに在さざりしならんには

if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

3 かれらの怒のわれらにむかひておこりし時 われらを生るままにて呑しならん

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

4 また水はわれらをおほひ 流はわれらの霊魂をうちこえ

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

5 高ぶる水はわれらの霊魂をうちこえしならん

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6 ヱホバはほむべきかな我儕をかれらの歯にわたして噛くらはせたまはざりき

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 我儕のたましひは捕鳥者のわなをのがるる鳥のごとくにのがれたり 羅はやぶれてわれらはのがれたり

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 われらの助は天地をつくりたまへるヱホバの名にあり

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