Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, 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 that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

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

3 verily 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 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

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

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

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

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

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

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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, who made heaven and earth.

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