124:1
|
(大卫上行之诗。)以色列人要说:若不是耶和华帮助我们,
|
|
(Psalm 124 A Song of Ascents; of David.)If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
|
124:2
|
若不是耶和华帮助我们,当人起来攻击我们、
|
|
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
|
124:3
|
向我们发怒的时候,就把我们活活地吞了。
|
|
Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
|
124:4
|
那时,波涛必漫过我们,河水必淹没我们,
|
|
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
|
124:5
|
狂傲的水必淹没我们。
|
|
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
|
124:6
|
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)。
|
|
Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
|
124:7
|
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。
|
|
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
|
124:8
|
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 Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
