Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may 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 the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

若不是耶和华帮助我们， 当人起来攻击我们、

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

向我们发怒的时候， 就把我们活活地吞了。

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

那时，波涛必漫过我们， 河水必淹没我们，

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

狂傲的水必淹没我们。

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

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

我们得帮助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和华的名。
