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 song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

2 若不是耶和華幫助我們， 當人起來攻擊我們、

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

3 向我們發怒的時候， 就把我們活活地吞了。

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

4 那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

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。

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto 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 soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

8 我們得幫助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
