சங்கீதம் 124
1 ௧ தாவீதின் ஆரோகண பாடல். மனிதர்கள் நமக்கு விரோதமாக எழும்பினபோது, யெகோவா நமது பக்கத்தில் இல்லாவிட்டால்,
You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?
When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,
we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!
[They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,
5 ௫ கொந்தளிக்கும் தண்ணீர்கள் நமது ஆத்துமாவின்மேல் புரண்டுபோயிருக்கும் என்று இஸ்ரவேல் இப்பொழுது சொல்வதாக.
and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).
[But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].
7 ௭ வேடருடைய கண்ணிக்குத் தப்பின குருவியைப்போல நம்முடைய ஆத்துமா தப்பினது, கண்ணி தெறித்தது, நாம் தப்பினோம்.
We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!
Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
