Psalmowo 124

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

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

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

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

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned 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.”

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 hath not given us a 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 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 the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
