Pagpuri dahil sa pagliligtas laban sa kaaway. Awit sa mga Pagsampa; ni David.

124 (A)Kung hindi ang Panginoon ay naging kakampi natin,
(B)Sabihin ng Israel ngayon,
Kung hindi ang Panginoon ay naging kakampi natin,
Nang ang mga tao ay magsibangon laban sa atin:
Nilamon nga nila sana (C)tayong buháy,
Nang ang kanilang poot ay mangagalab laban sa atin:
Tinabunan nga sana tayo (D)ng tubig,
Dinaanan nga sana ang ating kaluluwa ng agos:
Dinaanan nga sana ang ating kaluluwa ng mga palalong tubig.
Purihin ang Panginoon,
Na hindi tayo ibinigay na pinaka huli sa kanilang mga ngipin.
(E)Ang kaluluwa natin ay nakatanan na parang ibon sa silo ng mga manghuhuli:
Ang silo ay nasira, at tayo ay nakatanan.
(F)Ang saklolo natin ay nasa pangalan ng Panginoon,
Na siyang gumawa ng langit at lupa.

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

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

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

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

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

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

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

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

Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;(D)
the snare has been broken,(E)
    and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name(F) of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(G) and earth.

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—
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
Then they would have (C)swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have [a]gone over our soul;
Then the swollen waters
Would have [b]gone over our soul.”

Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
(D)Our soul has escaped (E)as a bird from the snare of the [c]fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
(F)Our help is in the name of the Lord,
(G)Who made heaven and earth.
