Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

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

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

anka nsu a ano yɛ den no bɛpra yɛn kɔ.

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

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

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.

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.
