诗篇
CH. 124
1
(大卫上行之诗。)以色列人要说,若不是耶和华帮助我们,

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side--let Israel say--
2
若不是耶和华帮助我们,当人起来攻击我们,

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3
向我们发怒的时候,就把我们活活地吞了。

when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
4
那时,波涛必漫过我们,河水必淹没我们。

the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5
狂傲的水必淹没我们。

the raging waters would have swept us away.
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(原文作牙齿)。

Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by 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。

We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8
我们得帮助,是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和华的名。

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
