Psalms 124

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:

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 hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

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

3 They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

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

4 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

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

5 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

6 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

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

7 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!

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

8 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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