Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may 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 [it had not been] the LORD 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 had swallowed us up quick, 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 hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

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