Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

Abụ nrigo. Nke Devid. A sị na Onyenwe anyị adịnyereghị anyị, ka Izrel kwuo,

2 “if it had not been Yahweh 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 anger raged against us.

mgbe iwe ha rere dịka ọkụ megide anyị, ha gaara eloda anyị na ndụ;

4 The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

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

5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

ebili mmiri niile gaara ebufu anyị.

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.

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

7 We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

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