시편 124

1이스라엘은 이제 말하기를 여호와께서 우리 편에 계시지 아니하시고 2사람들이 우리를 치러 일어날 때에 여호와께서 우리 편에 계시지 아니하셨더면 3그 때에 저희의 노가 위리를 대하여 맹열하여 위리를 산 채로 삼켯을 것이며 4그 때에 물이 우리를 엄몰하며 시내가 우리 영혼을 잠갔을 것이며 5그 때에 넘치는 물이 우리 영혼을 잠갔을 것이라 할 것이로다 6우리를 저희 이에 주어 씹히지 않게 하신 여호와를 찬송할지로다 7우리 혼이 새가 사냥군의 올무에서 벗어남 같이 되었나니 올무가 끊어지므로 우리가 벗어났도다 8우리의 도움은 천지를 지으신 여호와의 이름에 있도다

1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say, 2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us; 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; 4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; 5then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. 6Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. 8Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.

1Een lied Hammaaloth, van David. Ten ware de HEERE, Die bij ons geweest is, zegge nu Israel, 2Ten ware de HEERE, Die bij ons geweest is, als de mensen tegen ons opstonden; 3Toen zouden zij ons levend verslonden hebben, als hun toorn tegen ons ontstak. 4Toen zouden ons de wateren overlopen hebben; een stroom zou over onze ziel gegaan zijn. 5Toen zouden de stoute wateren over onze ziel gegaan zijn. 6De HEERE zij geloofd, Die ons in hun tanden niet heeft overgegeven tot een roof. 7Onze ziel is ontkomen, als een vogel uit den strik der vogelvangers; de strik is gebroken, en wij zijn ontkomen. 8Onze hulp is in den Naam des HEEREN, Die hemel en aarde gemaakt heeft.
