Psalms 125

DOUAI-RHEIMS	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:	1 שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלֹות הַבֹּטְחִים בַּיהוָה כְּהַר־צִיֹּון לֹא־יִמֹּוט לְעֹולָם יֵשֵׁב
2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us	2 יְרוּשָׁלִַם הָרִים סָבִיב לָהּ וַיהוָה סָבִיב לְעַמֹּו מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עֹולָם
3 perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,	3 כִּי לֹא יָנוּחַ שֵׁבֶט הָרֶשַׁע עַל גֹּורַל הַצַּדִּיקִים לְמַעַן לֹא־יִשְׁלְחוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּעַוְלָתָה יְדֵיהֶם
4 perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.	4 הֵיטִיבָה יְהוָה לַטֹּובִים וְלִישָׁרִים בְּלִבֹּותָם
5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.	5 וְהַמַּטִּים עַקַלְקַלֹּותָם יֹולִיכֵם יְהוָה אֶת־פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן לֹום עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
