Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;

大卫上行之诗。 以色列人要说： 若不是耶和华帮助我们，

2 if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

若不是耶和华帮助我们， 当人起来攻击我们、

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

向我们发怒的时候， 就把我们活活地吞了。

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

那时，波涛必漫过我们， 河水必淹没我们，

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

狂傲的水必淹没我们。

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

耶和华是应当称颂的！ 他没有把我们当野食交给他们吞吃。

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

我们好像雀鸟，从捕鸟人的网罗里逃脱； 网罗破裂，我们逃脱了。

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

我们得帮助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和华的名。
