Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Yon Sòm pou monte vè tanp lan. Yon Sòm David. Si se pa t SENYÈ a ki te pou nou, kite Israël di koulye a,

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

Si se pa t SENYÈ a ki te pou nou, lè lezòm te leve kont nou yo,

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

Alò, yo t ap gen tan fin vale nou tou vivan, lè kòlè yo te limen kont nou an.

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

Nan lè sa a, dlo yo t ap fin anglouti nou nèt. Kouran dlo yo ta fin pase sou nanm nou.

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Nan lè sa a, dlo anraje yo t ap fin pase sou nanm nou.

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

Beni se SENYÈ a, ki pa t livre nou pou chire nan dan yo.

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

Nanm nou gen tan fin chape tankou yon zwazo ki sòti nan pèlen a moun k ap fè lachas yo. Pèlen an fin kase e nou chape.

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

Sekou nou se nan non SENYÈ a, ki te fè syèl la ak tè a.
