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 *Псалом 124. [1]Притч 16:20;28:25.Ис 33:20. Надеющийся на Господа, как гора Сион, не подвигнется: пребывает вовек. 2 Горы окрест Иерусалима, а Господь окрест народа Своего отныне и вовек. 3 *[3]Деян 22:30. Ибо не оставит [Господь] жезла нечестивых над жребием праведных, дабы праведные не простерли рук своих к беззаконию. 4 *[4]Пс 7:11;111:4. Благотвори, Господи, добрым и правым в сердцах своих; 5 *[5]Пс 127:6.Гал 6:16. а совращающихся на кривые пути свои да оставит Господь ходить с делающими беззаконие. Мир на Израиля!
