Psalmowo 124

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

A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

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

‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

4 anye ne tsi ɖe mí hesi to mía dzi,

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

5 anye ne tɔ dzeagbowo kplɔ mí dzoe.”

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

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

We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
