Psalms 124

1 You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

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

2 When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

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

3 we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

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

4 [They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

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

5 and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

6 [But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

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

7 We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

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

8 Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

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