Psalms 124

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

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 Yahweh 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 anger raged against us.

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

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

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

5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

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

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

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

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