Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Dawid deɛ. 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 ɛberɛ a nnipa to hyɛɛ yɛn so,

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

ɛberɛ a wɔn abufuo sɔree tiaa yɛn a, anka wɔmenee yɛn anikann;

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

anka nsuyire no bu faa yɛn so, anka ɔhweam no twee yɛn kɔeɛ,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

anka nsuo a ano yɛ den no afa yɛn kɔ.

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

Nkamfoɔ nka Awurade a wɔamma ho kwan amma wɔamfa wɔn se antete yɛn mu.

7 Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Yɛadwane sɛ anomaa afiri afirisumfoɔ afidie mu; afidie no mu abubu, ama yɛanya ɛkwan adwane.

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

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