Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

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

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, 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 had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

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

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

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

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: 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 name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

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