Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

Abụ nrigo. Nke Devid. A sị na Onyenwe anyị adịnyereghị anyị, ka Izrel kwuo,

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

a sị na Onyenwe anyị adịnyereghị anyị, mgbe ndị mmadụ biliri imegide anyị,

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

mgbe iwe ha rere dịka ọkụ megide anyị, ha gaara eloda anyị na ndụ;

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

idee mmiri gaara iri anyị, oke mmiri gaara ebufu anyị,

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

ebili mmiri niile gaara ebufu anyị.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Ma otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, onye na-ekweghị ka ha jiri eze ha dọrie anyị.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

Anyị agbanarịla ha dịka nwa nnụnụ si gbanarị ọnya osi ọnya chọrọ iji jide ya; ọnya ahụ agbajiela, anyị ewezugakwala onwe anyị, nwere onwe anyị.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Inyeaka anyị dị nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, onye kere eluigwe na ụwa.
