Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

“Kung wala si Yahweh sa ating panig,” hayaang sabihin ng Israel ngayon,

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

“kung hindi si Yahweh ang nasa ating panig nang lumusob ang mga tao laban sa atin,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

tiyak lalamunin nila tayo ng buhay nang sumiklab ang kanilang matinding galit laban sa atin.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

Tatangayin tayo ng tubig; lalamunin tayo ng malakas na agos ng tubig.

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

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

Purihin si Yahweh, siyang hindi nagpahintulot na magutay-gutay tayo sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga ngipin.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Nakatakas tayo tulad ng isang ibon mula sa patibong ng mga manghuhuli; ang patibong ay nasira at tayo ay nakatakas.

8 Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.

Ang ating saklolo ay na kay Yahweh, na siyang gumawa ng langit at lupa.
