भजनसंग्रह 124

1 अब इस्राएलले भनोस्, “परमप्रभु हाम्रो पक्षमा नहुनुभएको भए,

A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;

2 मानिसहरू हाम्रा विरुद्धमा खडा हुँदा परमप्रभु हाम्रो पक्षमा नहुनुभएको भए,

if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

3 तब हाम्रा विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूका रिस दन्किंदा तिनीहरूले हामीलाई जिउँदै निल्नेथिए ।

verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 पानीले हामीलाई बगाएर लानेथियो । पानीको भलले हामीलाई बगाउनेथियो ।

verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

5 तब उर्लंदो पानीले हामीलाई डुबाउनेथियो ।”

Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

6 परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा होस्, जसले हामीलाई तिनीहरूको दाँतले धुजाधुजा हुन दिनुभएको छैन ।

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

7 शिकारीको पासोबाट चरा फुत्‍केझैं हामी भएका छौं । पासो चुँडेको छ र हामी उम्केका छौं ।

Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 परमप्रभु हाम्रो सहायता हुनुहुन्छ, जसले स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बनाउनुभयो ।

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