Psalms 124

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

David ƒe mɔzɔha. Ne menye Yehowae le mía dzi o la, Israel negblɔ be,

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

“Ɖe menye Yehowae le mía dzi o la, esi amegbetɔwo tso ɖe mía ŋu,

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

eye woƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe mía ŋu la, anye ne womi mí agbagbee,

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

Woakafu Yehowa, ame si meɖe mɔ be woavuvu mí kple woƒe aɖu o.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

Míesi abe xevi si do le mɔtrela ƒe mɔka me la ene; mɔka la tso, eye míesi dzo.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

Míaƒe xɔname le Yehowa, dziƒo kple anyigba Wɔla la gbɔ.
