Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

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 Yahweh 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 would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.

向我們發怒的時候， 就把我們活活地吞了。

4 The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by 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 We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

我們得幫助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。
