Psalms 123 — parallel

123:1

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν εἰπάτω δὴ Ισραηλ

^124:1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—

123:2

εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ἐπαναστῆναι ἀνθρώπους ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς

^124:2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

123:3

ἄρα ζῶντας ἂν κατέπιον ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ ὀργισθῆναι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτῶν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς

^124:3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

123:4

ἄρα τὸ ὕδωρ κατεπόντισεν ἡμᾶς χείμαρρον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν

^124:4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

123:5

ἄρα διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἀνυπόστατον

^124:5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

123:6

εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἡμᾶς εἰς θήραν τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν αὐτῶν

^124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

123:7

ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὡς στρουθίον ἐρρύσθη ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τῶν θηρευόντων ἡ παγὶς συνετρίβη καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐρρύσθημεν

^124:7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

123:8

ἡ βοήθεια ἡμῶν ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν

^124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
