< Psalms 124 >
1 If it had not been Yhwh who was on our side, now may Israel say;
Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Bagaimana seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita? Hai Israel, jawablah demikian:
2 If it had not been Yhwh who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
"Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
maka kita sudah ditelan hidup-hidup, oleh kemarahan mereka yang meluap-luap.
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
maka kita sudah mati tenggelam dalam pusaran air yang seram."
6 Blessed be Yhwh, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Mari kita bersyukur kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia tidak membiarkan kita dimusnahkan lawan.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Kita seperti burung yang lepas dari jerat pemburu, jerat itu sudah putus, dan kita pun lepas!
8 Our help is in the name of Yhwh, who made heaven and earth.
Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
