< Psalms 124 >

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),
Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Bagaimana seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita? Hai Israel, jawablah demikian:
2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
"Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,
3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,
maka kita sudah ditelan hidup-hidup, oleh kemarahan mereka yang meluap-luap.
4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;
5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.
maka kita sudah mati tenggelam dalam pusaran air yang seram."
6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.
Mari kita bersyukur kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia tidak membiarkan kita dimusnahkan lawan.
7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have 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, Maker of the heavens and earth!
Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
