124:1

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν εἰπάτω δὴ Ισραηλ

If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

以色列人要說：若不是耶和華幫助我們，

124:2

εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ἐπαναστῆναι ἀνθρώπους ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς

if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

若不是耶和華幫助我們，當人起來攻擊我們、

124:3

ἄρα ζῶντας ἂν κατέπιον ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ ὀργισθῆναι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτῶν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

向我們發怒的時候，就把我們活活地吞了。

124:4

ἄρα τὸ ὕδωρ κατεπόντισεν ἡμᾶς χείμαρρον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

那時，波濤必漫過我們，河水必淹沒我們，

124:5

ἄρα διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἀνυπόστατον

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

124:6

εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἡμᾶς εἰς θήραν τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν αὐτῶν

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

耶和華是應當稱頌的！他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞吃。

124:7

ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὡς στρουθίον ἐρρύσθη ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τῶν θηρευόντων ἡ παγὶς συνετρίβη καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐρρύσθημεν

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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。

124:8

ἡ βοήθεια ἡμῶν ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν

Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.

我們得幫助，是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。
