תהילים פרק קכ״ד

שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד לוּלֵי יְהוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל׃

Shir hama'alot leDavid, lulei Adonai shehaya lanu, yomar na Yisrael.

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel say—

לוּלֵי יְהוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ בְּקוּם עָלֵינוּ אָדָם׃

Lulei Adonai shehaya lanu, bekum aleinu adam.

if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,

אֲזַי חַיִּים בְּלָעוּנוּ בַּחֲרוֹת אַפָּם בָּנוּ׃

Azai chayim bela'unu, bacharot apam banu.

they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger flared against us;

אֲזַי הַמַּיִם שְׁטָפוּנוּ נַחְלָה עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵׁנוּ׃

Azai hamayim shetafunu, nachla avar al nafshenu.

the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

אֲזַי עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵׁנוּ הַמַּיִם הַזֵּידוֹנִים׃

Azai avar al nafshenu hamayim hazeidonim.

the raging waters would have swept us away.

בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה שֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָנוּ טֶרֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶם׃

Baruch Adonai shelo netananu teref leshineihem.

Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

נַפְשֵׁנוּ כְּצִפּוֹר נִמְלְטָה מִפַּח יוֹקְשִׁים הַפַּח נִשְׁבָּר וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִמְלָטְנוּ׃

Nafshenu ketzipor nimleta mipach yokshim, hapach nishbar va'anachnu nimlatnu.

We have escaped like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

עֶזְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ׃

Ezrenu beshem Adonai, oseh shamayim va'aretz.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
