Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, let Israel now 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 it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

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

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

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

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

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

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is 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 Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

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