¹If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

¹大衛朝聖之歌（原文作“往上行之歌”）。願以色列人說：如果不是耶和華幫助我們，（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）

²If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

²如果不是耶和華幫助我們；那麼，人起來攻擊我們，

³Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

³向我們發怒的時候，就把我們活活吞下去了。

⁴Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

⁴那時，洪水漫過我們，急流淹沒我們；

⁵Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

⁵洶湧的洪水把我們淹沒。

⁶Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁶耶和華是應當稱頌的，他沒有容讓敵人把我們當作獵物撕裂。

⁷Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

⁷我們像雀鳥從捕鳥的人的網羅裡逃脫；網羅破裂，我們就逃脫了。

⁸Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

⁸我們的幫助在於耶和華的名，他是造天地的主。
