Mga Awit 124

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

A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

If [it had not been] the LORD 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 had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare [is] broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
