| 124:1 | 〔大卫上行之诗。〕以色列人要说、若不是耶和华帮助我们、 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel 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 the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
| 124:3 | 向我们发怒的时候、就把我们活活的吞了. | Then they had swallowed us up quick, 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
