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:

Kung hindi ang Panginoon ay naging kakampi natin, sabihin ng Israel ngayon,

2 If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

Kung hindi ang Panginoon ay naging kakampi natin, nang ang mga tao ay magsibangon laban sa atin:

3 They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

Nilamon nga nila sana tayong buhay, nang ang kanilang poot ay mangagalab laban sa atin:

4 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

Tinabunan nga sana tayo ng tubig, dinaanan nga sana ang ating kaluluwa ng agos:

5 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

Dinaanan nga sana ang ating kaluluwa ng mga palalong tubig.

6 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

Purihin ang Panginoon, na hindi tayo ibinigay na pinaka huli sa kanilang mga ngipin.

7 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!

Ang kaluluwa natin ay nakatanan na parang ibon sa silo ng mga manghuhuli: ang silo ay nasira, at tayo ay nakatanan.

8 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Ang saklolo natin ay nasa pangalan ng Panginoon, na siyang gumawa ng langit at lupa.
