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，

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

2 若不是耶和華幫助我們， 當人起來攻擊我們、

If it had not been that the Lord was 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 had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

4 那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

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 be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to 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 hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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.
