Mazmur 124

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:

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

If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

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

They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

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

Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

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

They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

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

Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

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

We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!

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

Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
