| 124:1 | 〔大衛上行之詩。〕以色列人要說、若不是耶和華幫助我們、 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; |
| 124:2 | 若不是耶和華幫助我們、當人起來攻擊我們、 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
| 124:3 | 向我們發怒的時候、就把我們活活的吞了. | Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
| 124:4 | 那時、波濤必漫過我們、河水必淹沒我們. | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
| 124:5 | 狂傲的水必淹沒我們。 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
| 124:6 | 耶和華是應當稱頌的.他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞喫。〔原文作牙齒〕 | Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
| 124:7 | 我們好像雀鳥從捕鳥人的網羅裏逃脫.網羅破裂、我們逃脫了。 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
| 124:8 | 我們得幫助、是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。 | Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
