Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

David ƒe mɔzɔha. Ne menye Yehowae le mía dzi o la, Israel negblɔ be,

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

“Ɖe menye Yehowae le mía dzi o la, esi amegbetɔwo tso ɖe mía ŋu,

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

eye woƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe mía ŋu la, anye ne womi mí agbagbee,

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

Woakafu Yehowa, ame si meɖe mɔ be woavuvu mí kple woƒe aɖu o.

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Míesi abe xevi si do le mɔtrela ƒe mɔka me la ene; mɔka la tso, eye míesi dzo.

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

Míaƒe xɔname le Yehowa, dziƒo kple anyigba Wɔla la gbɔ.
