Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, let Israel now say,

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

2 if it had not been Jehovah 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 would have swallowed us up alive, 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 would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

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

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have 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 Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

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