Psalms 124 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

124:1
שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲל֗וֹת לְדָ֫וִ֥ד לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הֹוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה לָ֑נוּ יֹאמַר־נָ֝֗א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν εἰπάτω δὴ Ισραηλ
Canticum graduum. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël,
—
If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
124:2
לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הֹוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה לָ֑נוּ בְּק֖וּם עָלֵ֣ינוּ אָדָֽם׃
εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ἐπαναστῆναι ἀνθρώπους ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς
nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis : cum exsurgerent homines in nos,
—
if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
124:3
אֲ֭זַי חַיִּ֣ים בְּלָע֑וּנוּ בַּחֲר֖וֹת אַפָּ֣ם בָּֽנוּ׃
ἄρα ζῶντας ἂν κατέπιον ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ ὀργισθῆναι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτῶν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς
forte vivos deglutissent nos ; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,
—
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
124:4
אֲ֭זַי הַמַּ֣יִם שְׁטָפ֑וּנוּ נַ֝֗חְלָה עָבַ֥ר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ׃
ἄρα τὸ ὕδωρ κατεπόντισεν ἡμᾶς χείμαρρον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν
forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos ;
—
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
124:5
אֲ֭זַי עָבַ֣ר עַל־נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ הַ֝מַּ֗יִם הַזֵּידוֹנִֽים׃
ἄρα διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἀνυπόστατον
torrentem pertransivit anima nostra ; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.
ማኅሌት ፡ ዘበመዓርጊሁ ። ሶበ ፡ አኮ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ምስሌነ ፤ ይብል ፡ እስራኤል ።
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
124:6
בָּר֥וּךְ יְהֹוָ֑ה שֶׁלֹּ֥א נְתָנָ֥נוּ טֶ֝֗רֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃
εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἡμᾶς εἰς θήραν τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν αὐτῶν
Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum.
ሶበ ፡ አኮ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ምስሌነ ፤ እንተ ፡ ጊዜ ፡ ተንሥአ ፡ ሰብእ ፡ ላዕሌነ ። አሕዛብ ፡ ሕያዋኒነ ፡ እምውኅጡነ ፤
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
124:7
נַפְשֵׁ֗נוּ כְּצִפּ֥וֹר נִמְלְטָה֮ מִפַּ֢ח י֫וֹקְשִׁ֥ים הַפַּ֥ח נִשְׁבָּ֗ר וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃
ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὡς στρουθίον ἐρρύσθη ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τῶν θηρευόντων ἡ παγὶς συνετρίβη καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐρρύσθημεν
Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium ; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.
በከመ ፡ አንሥኡ ፡ ቍጥዓ ፡ መዐቶሙ ፡ ላዕሌነ ። አሕዛብ ፡ በማይ ፡ እምአስጠሙነ ፤
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
124:8
עֶ֭זְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃ {פ}
ἡ βοήθεια ἡμῶν ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν
Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit caelum et terram.
እምውሒዝ ፡ አምሰጠት ፡ ነፍስነ ። አምሰየት ፡ ነፍስነ ፡ እማየ ፡ ሀከክ ። ይትባረክ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላክነ ፤ ዘኢያግብአነ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መሥገርተ ፡ ማዕገቶሙ ። ነፍስነሰ ፡ አምሰጠት ፡ ከመ ፡ ዖፍ ፡ እመሥገርት ፡ ነዓዊት ፤ መሥገርትሰ ፡ ተቀጥቀጠት ፡ ወንሕነሰ ፡ ድኅነ ። ረድኤትነ ፡ በስመ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፤ ዘገብረ ፡ ሰማየ ፡ ወምድረ ።
Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
