Psalm 124
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.
1Here is what Israel should say.
Suppose the Lord had not been on our side.
2Suppose the Lord had not been on our side
when our enemies attacked us.
3Suppose he had not been on our side
when their burning anger blazed out against us.
Then they would have swallowed us alive.
4They would have been like a flood that drowned us.
They would have swept over us like a rushing river.
5They would have washed us away
like a swollen stream.
6Give praise to the Lord.
He has not let our enemies chew us up.
7We have escaped like a bird
from a hunter’s trap.
The trap has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8Our help comes from the Lord.
He is the Maker of heaven and earth.
Salmo 124124 Salmo 124 Ang unang mga salita sa Hebreo: Ang awit habang paakyat. Kay David ito.
Ang Dios ang Tagapagligtas ng Kanyang mga Mamamayan
1“Kung ang Panginoon ay hindi pumanig sa atin, ano kaya ang nangyari?”
Sumagot kayo mga taga-Israel!
2“Kung ang Panginoon ay hindi pumanig sa atin noong sinalakay tayo ng ating mga kaaway,
3maaaring pinatay na nila tayo, dahil sa matinding galit nila sa atin.
4-5Maaaring para tayong tinangay ng baha at nalunod dahil sa malakas na agos ng tubig.”
6Purihin ang Panginoon,
dahil hindi niya pinayagang lapain tayo ng ating mga kaaway,
na parang mababangis na hayop.
7Nakatakas tayo katulad ng ibong nakawala sa nasirang bitag.
8Ang tulong natin ay nagmula sa Panginoon,
na gumawa ng langit at ng lupa.
