Psalmowo 124

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, 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 quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream 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 the LORD, who has not given us as 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 are escaped.

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

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