Psalms 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

大衛上行之詩。 以色列人要說： 若不是耶和華幫助我們，

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

若不是耶和華幫助我們， 當人起來攻擊我們、

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

向我們發怒的時候， 就把我們活活地吞了。

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

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

耶和華是應當稱頌的！ 他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞吃。

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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。

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

我們得幫助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。
