Capítulo 124

¹A Song of Ascents, of David. 'Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,' Let Israel now say,

¹（大衛上行之詩。）以色列人要說：若不是耶和華幫助我們，

²'Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us,

²若不是耶和華幫助我們，當人起來攻擊我們、

³Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;

³向我們發怒的時候，就把我們活活地吞了。

⁴Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;

⁴那時，波濤必漫過我們，河水必淹沒我們，

⁵Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.'

⁵狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

⁶Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.

⁶耶和華是應當稱頌的！他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞吃（原文是牙齒）。

⁷Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped.

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。

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

⁸我們得幫助，是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。
