Psalms 124

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

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

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

"Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

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

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

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

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

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
