Mazmur 124

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

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

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

If it had not been that the Lord was 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 had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

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

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

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

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

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

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

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

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 adalah dalam nama TUHAN, yang menjadikan langit dan bumi.

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