Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Dawid deɛ. Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa a, ma Israel nka.

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa ɛberɛ a nnipa to hyɛɛ yɛn so,

3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

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

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

anka nsuo a ano yɛ den no afa yɛn kɔ.

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was 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 Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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