Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of 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 had 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 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
