Psalms 124

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

Orin fún ìgòkè. Ti Dafidi. “Ìbá má ṣe pé Olúwa tí ó ti wà fún wa,” kí ni Israẹli kí ó máa wí nísinsin yìí;

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

ìbá má ṣe pé Olúwa tó wà ní tiwa, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gbógun sí wa,

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

nígbà náà ni wọn ò bá gbé wà mì láààyè nígbà tí ìbínú wọn ru sí wa,

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

nígbà náà ni omi wọ̀n-ọn-nì ìbá bò wá mọ́lẹ̀,

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

nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

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

Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, tí kò fi wá fún wọ́n bí ohun ọdẹ fún eyín wọn.

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.

Ọkàn wa yọ bí ẹyẹ jáde kúrò nínú okùn apẹyẹ; okùn já àwa sì yọ.

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

Ìrànlọ́wọ́ wa ń bẹ ní orúkọ Olúwa, tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.
