1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
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）
2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;
2如果不是耶和华帮助我们；那么，人起来攻击我们，
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
3向我们发怒的时候，就把我们活活吞下去了。
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
4那时，洪水漫过我们，急流淹没我们；
5then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
5汹涌的洪水把我们淹没。
6Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
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。
7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
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。
8Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
8我们的帮助在于耶和华的名，他是造天地的主。
