Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

anka nsu a ano yɛ den no bɛpra yɛn kɔ.

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

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

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

Yɛaguan sɛ anomaa afi ofirisumfo afiri mu; wɔabubu afiri no, ama yɛaguan.

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

Yɛn mmoa wɔ Awurade din mu, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfo no.
