< 詩篇 124 >
A Song of degrees of David. 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.
6 讚美上主,他沒有將我們拋出,使我們做成他爪牙的獵物;
Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
7 我們像掙脫獵人羅網的小鳥,羅網扯破了,我們自然逃掉。
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 我們的救助是仰賴上主的名,上天和下地都是由他所造成。
Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
