Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now 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 that the Lord was amongst us, 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 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, 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 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

那時，波濤必漫過我們， 河水必淹沒我們，

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for 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 has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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。
