1Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Bagaimana seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita? Hai Israel, jawablah demikian:
1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2"Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,
2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;
3maka kita sudah ditelan hidup-hidup, oleh kemarahan mereka yang meluap-luap.
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
5maka kita sudah mati tenggelam dalam pusaran air yang seram."
5then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6Mari kita bersyukur kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia tidak membiarkan kita dimusnahkan lawan.
6Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Kita seperti burung yang lepas dari jerat pemburu, jerat itu sudah putus, dan kita pun lepas!
7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
8Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
