ترنيمة المصاعد.
۱ «لَوْلاَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: 1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
۲ «لَوْلاَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا، 2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
۳ إِذًا لاَبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ احْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا، 3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
٤ إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا الْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ السَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
٥ إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا الْمِيَاهُ الطَّامِيَةُ». 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
٦ مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لأَسْنَانِهِمْ. 6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
۷ انْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ الْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ الصَّيَّادِينَ. الْفَخُّ انْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ انْفَلَتْنَا. 7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
۸ عَوْنُنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، الصَّانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ. 8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
