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 Ascents. By David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, 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 the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

3 向我們發怒的時候， 就把我們活活地吞了。

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

4 那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

5 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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 has not given us as 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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.
