Mga Awit 124

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

A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

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

“if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when men rose up against us,

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

then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.

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

The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

5 Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

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

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us 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 have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
