Mazmur 124

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

If it had not been Adonai who was on our side, let Israel [God prevails] now say,

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

if it had not been Adonai who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

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

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

4 Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

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

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Adonai, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in Adonai’s name, who made heaven and earth.
