Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

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

2 If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

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

3 Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

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

4 Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;

anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

5 Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

6 Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

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