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 LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.

Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
