Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel 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 YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

若不是耶和华帮助我们， 当人起来攻击我们、

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

向我们发怒的时候， 就把我们活活地吞了。

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

那时，波涛必漫过我们， 河水必淹没我们，

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

狂傲的水必淹没我们。

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] 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 escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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 YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

我们得帮助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和华的名。
