ज़बूर 124

1 अब इस्राईल यूँ कहे, अगर ख़ुदावन्द हमारी तरफ़ न होता,

You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

2 अगर ख़ुदावन्द उस वक़्त हमारी तरफ़ न होता, जब लोग हमारे ख़िलाफ़ उठे,

When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

3 तो जब उनका क़हर हम पर भड़का था, वह हम को ज़िन्दा ही निगल जाते।

we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

4 उस वक़्त पानी हम को डुबो देता, और सैलाब हमारी जान पर से गुज़र जाता।

[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 उस वक़्त मौजज़न, पानी हमारी जान पर से गुज़र जाता।

and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

6 ख़ुदावन्द मुबारक हो, जिसने हमें उनके दाँतों का शिकार न होने दिया।

[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 हमारी जान चिड़िया की तरह चिड़ीमारों के जाल से बच निकली, जाल तो टूट गया और हम बच निकले।

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!

8 हमारी मदद ख़ुदावन्द के नाम से है, जिसने आसमान और ज़मीन को बनाया।

Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
