1大卫朝圣之歌（原文作“往上行之歌”）。愿以色列人说：如果不是耶和华帮助我们，（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
1A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
2如果不是耶和华帮助我们；那么，人起来攻击我们，
2Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
3向我们发怒的时候，就把我们活活吞下去了。
3Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
4那时，洪水漫过我们，急流淹没我们；
4Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
5汹涌的洪水把我们淹没。
5Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
6耶和华是应当称颂的，他没有容让敌人把我们当作猎物撕裂。
6Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.
7我们像雀鸟从捕鸟的人的网罗里逃脱；网罗破裂，我们就逃脱了。
7Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
8我们的帮助在于耶和华的名，他是造天地的主。
8Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
