Mazmur 124

1 Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Jikalau bukan TUHAN yang memihak kepada kita, --biarlah Israel berkata demikian--

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

2 jikalau bukan TUHAN yang memihak kepada kita, ketika manusia bangkit melawan kita,

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 maka mereka telah menelan kita hidup-hidup, ketika amarah mereka menyala-nyala terhadap kita;

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

4 maka air telah menghanyutkan kita, dan sungai telah mengalir melingkupi diri kita,

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 maka telah mengalir melingkupi diri kita air yang meluap-luap itu.

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

6 Terpujilah TUHAN yang tidak menyerahkan kita menjadi mangsa bagi gigi mereka!

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

7 Jiwa kita terluput seperti burung dari jerat penangkap burung; jerat itu telah putus, dan kitapun terluput!

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

8 Pertolongan kita adalah dalam nama TUHAN, yang menjadikan langit dan bumi.

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