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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel 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 been for 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。

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned against us;

4 那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

5 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

The proud waters had 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 hath not given us 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。

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; 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.
