Psalms 124

1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

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

2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

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

3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

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

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

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

5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

Pagkatapos lulunurin tayo ng rumaragasang tubig.”

6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

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

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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