Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, 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 Jehovah who was on our side, 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 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 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have 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 would have gone over our soul.

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

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have 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 Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

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