Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

Se yon chante David pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Si Seyè a pa t' kanpe pou nou, ki jan sa ta ye! Se pou pèp Izrayèl la rekonèt sa.

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

Wi, si Seyè a pa t' kanpe pou nou, lè moun yo te leve dèyè nou an,

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

yo ta vale nou tou vivan, lè yo te move sou nou an.

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

Dlo ta kouvri nou, lavalas ta pase sou nou.

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

Wi, lavalas ta pote nou ale.

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

Ann fè lwanj Seyè a ki pa kite lènmi nou yo devore nou.

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Nou chape tankou yon ti zwezo ki chape soti nan pèlen chasè. Fil pèlen an kase. Nou chape, n' ale.

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

Se Seyè a k'ap pote nou sekou, se li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.
