Psalms 124

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;

Abụ nrigo. Nke Devid. A sị na Onyenwe anyị adịnyereghị anyị, ka Izrel kwuo,

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

a sị na Onyenwe anyị adịnyereghị anyị, mgbe ndị mmadụ biliri imegide anyị,

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

mgbe iwe ha rere dịka ọkụ megide anyị, ha gaara eloda anyị na ndụ;

4 Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

idee mmiri gaara iri anyị, oke mmiri gaara ebufu anyị,

5 Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

ebili mmiri niile gaara ebufu anyị.

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

Ma otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, onye na-ekweghị ka ha jiri eze ha dọrie anyị.

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

Anyị agbanarịla ha dịka nwa nnụnụ si gbanarị ọnya osi ọnya chọrọ iji jide ya; ọnya ahụ agbajiela, anyị ewezugakwala onwe anyị, nwere onwe anyị.

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

Inyeaka anyị dị nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, onye kere eluigwe na ụwa.
