שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת, לְדָוִד:
לוּלֵי יְהוָה, שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ-- יֹאמַר-נָא, יִשְׂרָאֵל.

1
A Song of Ascents; of David.
{N}
'If it had not been YAHOWAH who was for us', let Yisrael now say;
|
|
ב
לוּלֵי יְהוָה, שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ-- בְּקוּם עָלֵינוּ אָדָם.
|
2
'If it had not been YAHOWAH who was for us, when men rose up against us,
|
|
ג
אֲזַי, חַיִּים בְּלָעוּנוּ-- בַּחֲרוֹת אַפָּם בָּנוּ.
|
3
Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
|
|
ד
אֲזַי, הַמַּיִם שְׁטָפוּנוּ-- נַחְלָה, עָבַר עַל-נַפְשֵׁנוּ.
|
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;
|
|
ה
אֲזַי, עָבַר עַל-נַפְשֵׁנוּ-- הַמַּיִם, הַזֵּידוֹנִים.
|
5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'
|
|
ו
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה-- שֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָנוּ טֶרֶף, לְשִׁנֵּיהֶם.
|
6
Blessed be YAHOWAH, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
|
ז
נַפְשֵׁנוּ-- כְּצִפּוֹר נִמְלְטָה, מִפַּח יוֹקְשִׁים:
הַפַּח נִשְׁבָּר, וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִמְלָטְנוּ.
|
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers;
{N}
the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
|
|
ח
עֶזְרֵנוּ, בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה-- עֹשֵׂה, שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ.
|
8
Our help is in the name of YAHOWAH, who made heaven and earth.
{P}
