Psalms 124

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

1 以色列人要说： 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， 当人起来攻击我们、

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

3 向我们发怒的时候， 就把我们活活地吞了。

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

4 那时，波涛必漫过我们， 河水必淹没我们，

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

5 狂傲的水必淹没我们。

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

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 。

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

7 我们好像雀鸟，从捕鸟人的网罗里逃脱； 网罗破裂，我们逃脱了。

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

8 我们得帮助， 是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和华的名。
