Psalms 124

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

Orin fún ìgòkè. Ti Dafidi. “Ìbá má ṣe pé Olúwa tí ó ti wà fún wa,” kí ni Israẹli kí ó máa wí nísinsin yìí;

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

ìbá má ṣe pé Olúwa tó wà ní tiwa, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gbógun sí wa,

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

nígbà náà ni wọn ò bá gbé wà mì láààyè nígbà tí ìbínú wọn ru sí wa,

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

nígbà náà ni omi wọ̀n-ọn-nì ìbá bò wá mọ́lẹ̀,

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

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

Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, tí kò fi wá fún wọ́n bí ohun ọdẹ fún eyín wọn.

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

Ọkàn wa yọ bí ẹyẹ jáde kúrò nínú okùn apẹyẹ; okùn já àwa sì yọ.

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

Ìrànlọ́wọ́ wa ń bẹ ní orúkọ Olúwa, tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.
