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。

Had He Not Been on Our Side

Psalm 124

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
“Had Adonai not been on our side”
—let Israel now say—
“Had Adonai not been on our side,
when men rose up against us,
then they would have swallowed us alive,
when their wrath burned against us.
Then the waters would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over our soul,
then the raging waters
would have swept over our soul.”

Blessed be Adonai, who has not given us
as prey for their teeth.
Our soul has escaped like a bird
out of the snare of the trappers—
the snare is broken, and we escaped!
Our help is in the Name of Adonai,
Maker of heaven and earth.
