Psalms 124

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

Ɔsoroforo dwom. Dawid de. Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa a, ma Israel nka,

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

Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa bere a nnipa tow hyɛɛ yɛn so,

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

bere a wɔn abufuw sɔre tiaa yɛn a anka wɔmemenee yɛn anikann;

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

anka nsuyiri no bebu afa yɛn so, anka ɔhweam no bɛtwe yɛn akɔ,

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

anka nsu a ano yɛ den no bɛpra yɛn kɔ.

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

Ayeyi nka Awurade a wamma ho kwan amma wɔamfa wɔn se antetew yɛn mu.

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

Yɛaguan sɛ anomaa afi ofirisumfo afiri mu; wɔabubu afiri no, ama yɛaguan.

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

Yɛn mmoa wɔ Awurade din mu, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfo no.
