Psalm 124

Thanksgiving for Israel’s Deliverance

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
    —let Israel now say—(A)
if it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
    when our enemies attacked us,
then they would have swallowed us up alive,
    when their anger was kindled against us;(B)
then the flood would have swept us away;
    the torrent would have gone over us;(C)
then over us would have gone
    the raging waters.

Blessed be the Lord,
    who has not given us
    as prey to their teeth.(D)
We have escaped like a bird
    from the snare of the hunters;
the snare is broken,
    and we have escaped.(E)

Our help is in the name of the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.(F)

稱頌 神的幫助與保護

大衛朝聖之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。

124 願以色列人說:

如果不是耶和華幫助我們,(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

如果不是耶和華幫助我們;

那麼,人起來攻擊我們,

向我們發怒的時候,

就把我們活活吞下去了。

那時,洪水漫過我們,

急流淹沒我們;

洶湧的洪水把我們淹沒。

耶和華是應當稱頌的,

他沒有容讓敵人把我們當作獵物撕裂。

我們像雀鳥從捕鳥的人的網羅裡逃脫;

網羅破裂,我們就逃脫了。

我們的幫助在於耶和華的名,

他是造天地的主。
