Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

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

2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

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

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

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

5 Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

anka nsu a ano yɛ den no bɛpra yɛn kɔ.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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

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

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