Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Bagaimana seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita? Hai Israel, jawablah demikian:

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

"Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

maka kita sudah ditelan hidup-hidup, oleh kemarahan mereka yang meluap-luap.

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

maka kita sudah mati tenggelam dalam pusaran air yang seram."

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

Mari kita bersyukur kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia tidak membiarkan kita dimusnahkan lawan.

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Kita seperti burung yang lepas dari jerat pemburu, jerat itu sudah putus, dan kita pun lepas!

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
