¹{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us -- oh let Israel say --

¹Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Bagaimana seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita? Hai Israel, jawablah demikian:

²If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

²"Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,

³Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

³maka kita sudah ditelan hidup-hidup, oleh kemarahan mereka yang meluap-luap.

⁴Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

⁴Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

⁵Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

⁵maka kita sudah mati tenggelam dalam pusaran air yang seram."

⁶Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

⁶Mari kita bersyukur kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia tidak membiarkan kita dimusnahkan lawan.

⁷Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

⁷Kita seperti burung yang lepas dari jerat pemburu, jerat itu sudah putus, dan kita pun lepas!

⁸Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

⁸Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
