Песнь 124
Песнь восхождения.
1Те, кто надеется на Вечного, – как гора Сион:
не поколеблются, пребудут вовеки.
2Как горы окружают Иерусалим,
так Вечный окружает Свой народ
отныне и вовеки.
3Не вечно власти нечестивых
быть на земле, принадлежащей праведным,
иначе праведные, по их примеру,
сами станут творить беззаконие.
4Будь добр, Вечный, к добрым
и правым в сердцах своих.
5Но тех, кто следует кривыми путями,
да отвергнет Вечный вместе со злодеями.
Мир Исраилу!
A Song of degrees of David.
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
