詩篇

第 124 章

1. 〔大衛上行之詩。〕以色列人要說、若不是耶和華幫助我們、
A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side--let Israel say--
2. 若不是耶和華幫助我們、當人起來攻擊我們、
if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3. 向我們發怒的時候、就把我們活活的吞了.
when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
4. 那時、波濤必漫過我們、河水必淹沒我們.
the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5. 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。
the raging waters would have swept us away.
6. 耶和華是應當稱頌的.他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞喫。〔原文作牙齒〕
Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7. 我們好像雀鳥從捕鳥人的網羅裡逃脫.網羅破裂、我們逃脫了。
We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8. 我們得幫助、是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。
Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
