< Psalms 124 >
1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for 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 the LORD who was for 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 Then they had 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 had overwhelmed us, the stream had 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 had gone over our soul.'
Nan lè sa a, dlo anraje yo t ap fin pase sou nanm nou.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath 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 is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are 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 name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Sekou nou se nan non SENYÈ a, ki te fè syèl la ak tè a.
