Mga Awit 124

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

A song of ascents. Of David. “Had it not been the Lord who was for us” let Israel say

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

“Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

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

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

5 Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.”

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn 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 are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

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