Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

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

2 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

anka nsu a ano yɛ den no bɛpra yɛn kɔ.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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.
