1 שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲל֗וֹת לְדָ֫וִ֥ד לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה לָ֑נוּ יֹֽאמַר־ נָ֝א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say— A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2 לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה לָ֑נוּ בְּק֖וּם עָלֵ֣ינוּ אָדָֽם׃ if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us, if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 אֲ֭זַי חַיִּ֣ים בְּלָע֑וּנוּ בַּחֲר֖וֹת אַפָּ֣ם בָּֽנוּ׃ then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
4 אֲ֭זַי הַמַּ֣יִם שְׁטָפ֑וּנוּ נַ֗֜חְלָה‪‬ עָבַ֥ר עַל־ נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ׃ then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5 אֲ֭זַי עָבַ֣ר עַל־ נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ הַ֝מַּ֗יִם הַזֵּֽידוֹנִֽים׃ then over us would have gone the raging waters. the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה שֶׁלֹּ֥א נְתָנָ֥נוּ טֶ֝֗רֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃ Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 נַפְשֵׁ֗נוּ כְּצִפּ֥וֹר נִמְלְטָה֮ מִפַּ֪ח י֫וֹקְשִׁ֥ים הַפַּ֥ח נִשְׁבָּ֗ר וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃ We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8 עֶ֭זְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃ Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
