Psalmowo 124

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

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

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

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

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

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

4 anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

5 anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

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

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 Míesi abe xevi si do le mɔtrela ƒe mɔka me la ene; mɔka la tso, eye míesi dzo.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

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

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
