Psalmowo 124

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

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

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

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

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

4 anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5 anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

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

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

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

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

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

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
