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,

Ɔsoroforo dwom. Dawid de. Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa a, ma Israel nka,

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa bere a nnipa tow hyɛɛ yɛn so,

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

bere a wɔn abufuw sɔre tiaa yɛn a anka wɔmemenee yɛn anikann;

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

anka nsuyiri no bebu afa yɛn so, anka ɔhweam no bɛtwe yɛn akɔ,

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

anka nsu a ano yɛ den no bɛpra yɛn kɔ.

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

Ayeyi nka Awurade a wamma ho kwan amma wɔamfa wɔn se antetew yɛn mu.

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

Yɛaguan sɛ anomaa afi ofirisumfo afiri mu; wɔabubu afiri no, ama yɛaguan.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Yɛn mmoa wɔ Awurade din mu, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfo no.
