Mazmur 124

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

A song of ascents. Of David. “Had it not been the Lord who was for us” let Israel say

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

“Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

4 Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

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

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.”

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

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

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

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

Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
