Psalms 124

1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

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

2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

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

3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

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

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

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

5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

ebili mmiri niile gaara ebufu anyị.

6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

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, who made heaven and earth.

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