Psalmowo 124

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

A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

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

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

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

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

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

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
