भजन संहिता 124

1 १ दाऊद की यात्रा का गीत इस्राएल यह कहे, कि यदि हमारी ओर यहोवा न होता,

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

2 २ यदि यहोवा उस समय हमारी ओर न होता जब मनुष्यों ने हम पर चढ़ाई की,

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

3 ३ तो वे हमको उसी समय जीवित निगल जाते, जब उनका क्रोध हम पर भड़का था,

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

4 ४ हम उसी समय जल में डूब जाते और धारा में बह जाते;

[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,

5 ५ उमड़ते जल में हम उसी समय ही बह जाते।

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

6 ६ धन्य है यहोवा, जिसने हमको उनके दाँतों तले जाने न दिया!

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

7 ७ हमारा जीव पक्षी के समान चिड़ीमार के जाल से छूट गया; जाल फट गया और हम बच निकले!

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!

8 ८ यहोवा जो आकाश और पृथ्वी का कर्ता है, हमारी सहायता उसी के नाम से होती है।

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