Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

8 Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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