Mga Awit 124

1 “Kung wala si Yahweh sa ating panig,” hayaang sabihin ng Israel ngayon,

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 “kung hindi si Yahweh ang nasa ating panig nang lumusob ang mga tao laban sa atin,

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

3 tiyak lalamunin nila tayo ng buhay nang sumiklab ang kanilang matinding galit laban sa atin.

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

4 Tatangayin tayo ng tubig; lalamunin tayo ng malakas na agos ng tubig.

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

5 Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

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

6 Purihin si Yahweh, siyang hindi nagpahintulot na magutay-gutay tayo sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga ngipin.

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

7 Nakatakas tayo tulad ng isang ibon mula sa patibong ng mga manghuhuli; ang patibong ay nasira at tayo ay nakatakas.

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

8 Ang ating saklolo ay na kay Yahweh, na siyang gumawa ng langit at lupa.

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