Psalms 124

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel 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 the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

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

3 They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

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

4 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

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

5 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

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

6 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

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

7 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew 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 comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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