Psalmowo 124

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

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

4 anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

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

5 anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

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

Blessed [is] YHWH 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.

Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!
