1 (Shir HaMa'alot [Song of Ascents], of Dovid)
If it had not been Hashem Who was lanu (for us, on our side),
now may Yisroel say;
2 If it had not been Hashem Who was lanu,
when adam (man) rose up against us;
3 Then they had swallowed us up chayyim (alive);
when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Then the mayim would have overwhelmed us,
the torrent would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh);
5 Then the mayim hazedonim (treacherous waters)
would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh).
6 Baruch Hashem,
Who hath not given us up
as a prey to their shinayim (teeth).
7 Nafsheinu (our nefesh) is escaped as a tzippor (bird)
out of the pach (snare of the fowlers);
the pach is broken,
and we are escaped.
8 Ezreinu (our help) B'Shem Hashem
Oseh Shomayim vaAretz.
