Psalm 124

English Standard Version

from Crossway

Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say— (Ps 94:17; Ps 129:1) 

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

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; (Ps 56:1) 

4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; (Job 22:11; Ps 32:6; Ps 69:1; Ps 69:2; Isa 8:8) 

5 then over us would have gone the raging waters. 

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! 

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! (Ps 91:3) 

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. (Ps 121:2)

Psalm 124

الكتاب المقدس

from Biblica

تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ

1 لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ، 

2 لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا، عِنْدَمَا قَامَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا. 

3 لابْتَلَعُونَا وَنَحْنُ أَحْيَاءُ، عِنْدَمَا احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُمْ عَلَيْنَا، 

4 وَلَجَرَفَتْنَا الْمِيَاهُ، وَلَطَمَا السَّيْلُ عَلَيْنَا، 

5 وَلَطَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ العَاتِيَةُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. 

6 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا فَرِيسَةً لأَسْنَانِ أَعْدَائِنَا. 

7 نَجَتْ نُفُوسُنَا كَالْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ الصَّيَّادِينَ: انْكَسَرَ الْفَخُّ وَنَجَوْنَا. 

8 عَوْنُنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ صَانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.
