< Psalms 124 >
1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;
Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Jikalau bukan TUHAN yang memihak kepada kita, --biarlah Israel berkata demikian--
2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;
jikalau bukan TUHAN yang memihak kepada kita, ketika manusia bangkit melawan kita,
3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
maka mereka telah menelan kita hidup-hidup, ketika amarah mereka menyala-nyala terhadap kita;
4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.
maka air telah menghanyutkan kita, dan sungai telah mengalir melingkupi diri kita,
5 Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.
maka telah mengalir melingkupi diri kita air yang meluap-luap itu.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
Terpujilah TUHAN yang tidak menyerahkan kita menjadi mangsa bagi gigi mereka!
7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
Jiwa kita terluput seperti burung dari jerat penangkap burung; jerat itu telah putus, dan kitapun terluput!
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Pertolongan kita adalah dalam nama TUHAN, yang menjadikan langit dan bumi.
