Psalm 124
New King James Version
The Lord the Defense of His People
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
124 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our (A)side,”
(B)Let Israel now say—
2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (C)swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have [a]gone over our soul;
5 Then the swollen waters
Would have [b]gone over our soul.”
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 (D)Our soul has escaped (E)as a bird from the snare of the [c]fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 (F)Our help is in the name of the Lord,
(G)Who made heaven and earth.

Salmo 124
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Dios ang Tagapagligtas ng Kanyang mga Mamamayan
124 “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,
3 maaaring pinatay na nila tayo, dahil sa matinding galit nila sa atin.
4-5 Maaaring para tayong tinangay ng baha at nalunod dahil sa malakas na agos ng tubig.”
6 Purihin ang Panginoon,
dahil hindi niya pinayagang lapain tayo ng ating mga kaaway,
na parang mababangis na hayop.
7 Nakatakas tayo katulad ng ibong nakawala sa nasirang bitag.
8 Ang tulong natin ay nagmula sa Panginoon,
na gumawa ng langit at ng lupa.

Psalm 124
King James Version
124 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say(A)—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood(B) would have engulfed us,
the torrent(C) would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
