Psalms

（大衛上行之詩。）以色列人要說：若不是耶和華幫助我們，

[A Song of degrees of David.] If {it had not been} the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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:

向我們發怒的時候，就把我們活活地吞了。

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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:

狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

耶和華是應當稱頌的！他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞吃（原文是牙齒）。

Blessed {be} the LORD, who hath not given us {as} a prey to their teeth.

我們好像雀鳥，從捕鳥人的網羅裡逃脫；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.

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.
