詩篇 124

1 大衛上行之詩。 以色列人要說： 若不是耶和華幫助我們，

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

2 若不是耶和華幫助我們， 當人起來攻擊我們、

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 向我們發怒的時候， 就把我們活活地吞了。

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

4 那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

6 耶和華是應當稱頌的！ 他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞吃。

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

7 我們好像雀鳥，從捕鳥人的網羅裏逃脫； 網羅破裂，我們逃脫了。

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

8 我們得幫助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。

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