Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

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 the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

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

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

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

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

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

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

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 prey to their teeth.

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

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

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 name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

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