1قوم اسرائيل جواب اين سؤال را بدهد: «اگر خداوند با ما نمیبود چه میشد؟»2-3هنگامی كه دشمنان درندهخوی ما بر ما يورش آوردند، اگر خداوند با ما نمیبود آنها ما را زنده میبلعيدند!4-5سيل ما را با خود میبرد و در گردابها غرق میشديم!6سپاس بر خداوند كه نگذاشت ما شكار دندانهای آنها شويم.7همچون پرنده، از دام صياد گريختيم. دام شكست و ما آزاد شديم.8مددكار ما خداوند است كه آسمان و زمين را آفريد.
1A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say— (مزامير 94:17; مزامير 120:1; مزامير 129:1)2if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; (مزامير 56:1)4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; (ايوب 22:11; مزامير 32:6; مزامير 69:1; مزامير 69:2; اشعيا 8:8)5then over us would have gone the raging waters.6Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! (مزامير 91:3)8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (مزامير 121:2)
