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);

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ebili mmiri niile gaara ebufu anyị.

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

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

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.

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.
