A Song of Ascents. By David.

1 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,

let Israel now say,

2 if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,

when men rose up against us,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,

when their wrath was kindled against us,

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us,

the stream would have gone over our soul.

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be Yahweh,

who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.

The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in Yahweh’s name,

who made heaven and earth.

1 RAB bizden yana olmasaydı, 2 Desin şimdi İsrail:

2 RAB bizden yana olmasaydı, 2 İnsanlar bize saldırdığında,

3 Diri diri yutarlardı bizi, 2 Öfkeleri bize karşı alevlenince.

4 Sular silip süpürürdü bizleri, 2 Seller geçerdi üzerimizden.

5 Kabaran sular 2 Aşardı başımızdan.

6 Övgüler olsun 2 Bizi onların ağzına yem etmeyen RABbe!

7 Bir kuş gibi 2 Kurtuldu canımız avcının tuzağından, 2 Kırıldı tuzak, kurtulduk.

8 Yeri göğü yaratan 2 RAB'bin adı yardımcımızdır.
