Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

“Kung wala si Yahweh sa ating panig,” hayaang sabihin ng Israel ngayon,

2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

“kung hindi si Yahweh ang nasa ating panig nang lumusob ang mga tao laban sa atin,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.

Purihin si Yahweh, siyang hindi nagpahintulot na magutay-gutay tayo sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga ngipin.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

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