Mazmur 124

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

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

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

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

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned against us;

4 Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

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

The proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us a prey to their teeth!

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

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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.
