Mga Awit 124

1Kung hindi ang Panginoon ay naging kakampi natin, sabihin ng Israel ngayon, 2Kung hindi ang Panginoon ay naging kakampi natin, nang ang mga tao ay magsibangon laban sa atin: 3Nilamon nga nila sana tayong buhay, nang ang kanilang poot ay mangagalab laban sa atin: 4Tinabunan nga sana tayo ng tubig, dinaanan nga sana ang ating kaluluwa ng agos: 5Dinaanan nga sana ang ating kaluluwa ng mga palalong tubig. 6Purihin ang Panginoon, na hindi tayo ibinigay na pinaka huli sa kanilang mga ngipin. 7Ang kaluluwa natin ay nakatanan na parang ibon sa silo ng mga manghuhuli: ang silo ay nasira, at tayo ay nakatanan. 8Ang saklolo natin ay nasa pangalan ng Panginoon, na siyang gumawa ng langit at lupa.

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.
