1Песнь восхождения. Те, кто надеется на Господа, – как гора Сион: не поколеблются, пребудут вовеки.2Как горы окружают Иерусалим, так Господь окружает Свой народ отныне и вовеки.3Жезл нечестивых не останется над землей праведных, чтобы праведные не протянули свои руки к беззаконию.4Будь добр, Господи, к добрым и к правым в сердцах своих.5Но тех, кто следует кривыми путями, да отвергнет Господь вместе со злодеями. Мир Израилю!
Psalm 124
English Standard Version
Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord
1A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say— (Ps 94,17; Ps 120,1; Ps 129,1)2if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; (Ps 56,1)4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; (Hi 22,11; Ps 32,6; Ps 69,1; Ps 69,2; Jes 8,8)5then over us would have gone the raging waters.6Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! (Ps 91,3)8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Ps 121,2)
