诗篇 第 124 篇

1大卫上行之诗。 以色列人要说： 若不是耶和华帮助我们，

1A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2若不是耶和华帮助我们， 当人起来攻击我们、

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

3向我们发怒的时候， 就把我们活活地吞了。

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

4那时，波涛必漫过我们， 河水必淹没我们，

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

5狂傲的水必淹没我们。

5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6耶和华是应当称颂的！ 他没有把我们当野食交给他们吞吃。

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

7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。

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

8我们得帮助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和华的名。

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