भजनसंग्रह 124

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

“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;

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

If it had not been the Lord who was for us, when men rose up against us:

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

Then would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

4 पानीले हामीलाई बगाएर लानेथियो । पानीको भलले हामीलाई बगाउनेथियो ।

Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

5 तब उर्लंदो पानीले हामीलाई डुबाउनेथियो ।”

Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

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

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

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

Our soul is escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

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