Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

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

ebili mmiri niile gaara ebufu anyị.

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

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

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

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