< Psalms 124 >
1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:
अब इस्राएलले भनोस्, “परमप्रभु हाम्रो पक्षमा नहुनुभएको भए,
2 If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?
मानिसहरू हाम्रा विरुद्धमा खडा हुँदा परमप्रभु हाम्रो पक्षमा नहुनुभएको भए,
3 They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.
तब हाम्रा विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूका रिस दन्किंदा तिनीहरूले हामीलाई जिउँदै निल्नेथिए ।
4 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.
पानीले हामीलाई बगाएर लानेथियो । पानीको भलले हामीलाई बगाउनेथियो ।
5 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.
तब उर्लंदो पानीले हामीलाई डुबाउनेथियो ।”
6 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.
परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा होस्, जसले हामीलाई तिनीहरूको दाँतले धुजाधुजा हुन दिनुभएको छैन ।
7 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!
शिकारीको पासोबाट चरा फुत्केझैं हामी भएका छौं । पासो चुँडेको छ र हामी उम्केका छौं ।
8 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
परमप्रभु हाम्रो सहायता हुनुहुन्छ, जसले स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बनाउनुभयो ।
