1A Song of Ascents, of David. 'Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,' Let Israel now say,
1（大衛上行之詩。）以色列人要說：若不是耶和華幫助我們，
2'Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us,
2若不是耶和華幫助我們，當人起來攻擊我們、
3Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;
3向我們發怒的時候，就把我們活活地吞了。
4Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;
4那時，波濤必漫過我們，河水必淹沒我們，
5Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.'
5狂傲的水必淹沒我們。
6Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.
6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）。
7Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped.
7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。
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
8我們得幫助，是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。
