Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

若不是上主保佑我們，唯願以色列子民再說：

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

若不是上主保佑我們，當世人起來攻擊我們，

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

並向我們發洩怒火時，必會活活將我們舌食。

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

就像淹沒我們的水禍，流過我們頭頸的洪波。

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

又像洶湧澎湃的狂浪，早已將我們淹沒滅亡。

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

讚美上主，他沒有將我們拋出，使我們做成他爪牙的獵物；

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

我們像掙脫獵人羅網的小鳥，羅網扯破了，我們自然逃掉。

8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

我們的救助是仰賴上主的名，上天和下地都是由他所造成。
