Mazmur 124

1 Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Bagaimana seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita? Hai Israel, jawablah demikian:

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 "Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 maka kita sudah ditelan hidup-hidup, oleh kemarahan mereka yang meluap-luap.

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

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

5 maka kita sudah mati tenggelam dalam pusaran air yang seram."

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Mari kita bersyukur kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia tidak membiarkan kita dimusnahkan lawan.

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

7 Kita seperti burung yang lepas dari jerat pemburu, jerat itu sudah putus, dan kita pun lepas!

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.

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