Psalms 124

שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲל֗וֹת לְדָ֫וִ֥ד¹ לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה לָ֑נוּ יֹֽאמַר־נָ֝א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה לָ֑נוּ בְּק֖וּם עָלֵ֣ינוּ אָדָֽם׃

'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,

אֲ֭זַי חַיִּ֣ים בְּלָע֑וּנוּ בַּחֲר֖וֹת אַפָּ֣ם בָּֽנוּ׃

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

אֲ֭זַי הַמַּ֣יִם שְׁטָפ֑וּנוּ נַ֗֜חְלָה¹ עָבַ֥ר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ׃

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;

אֲ֭זַי עָבַ֣ר עַל־נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ הַ֝מַּ֗יִם הַזֵּֽידוֹנִֽים׃

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה שֶׁלֹּ֥א נְתָנָ֥נוּ טֶ֝֗רֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃

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

נַפְשֵׁ֗נוּ כְּצִפּ֥וֹר נִמְלְטָה֮ מִפַּ֪ח י֫וֹקְשִׁ֥ים הַפַּ֥ח נִשְׁבָּ֗ר וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

עֶ֭זְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃

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