Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—

1 愿以色列人说： 若不是耶和华帮助我们，

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

2 若不是耶和华帮助我们， 人们起来攻击我们、

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

3 向我们发怒的时候， 我们早已被他们生吞，

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

4 被狂涛淹没，被洪流卷走，

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

5 被怒海吞噬。

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

6 耶和华当受称颂！ 祂没有让我们像猎物一样被敌人撕咬。

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

7 我们像鸟一样逃出了猎人的网罗。 网罗破裂，我们逃了出去。

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

8 我们的帮助来自创造天地的耶和华的名。
