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 wala si Yahweh sa ating panig,” hayaang 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 si Yahweh ang nasa ating panig nang lumusob ang mga tao laban sa atin,

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

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

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

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

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

Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

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

Purihin si Yahweh, siyang hindi nagpahintulot na magutay-gutay tayo sa pamamagitan ng 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!

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

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

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