Mazmur 124

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

2 "Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

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

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

4 Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

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

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

7 Kita seperti burung yang lepas dari jerat pemburu, jerat itu sudah putus, dan kita pun lepas!

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
