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. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel 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, Yahweh, 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, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

4 那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;

5 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

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 Yahweh, who gave us not as 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, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
