Abụ Ọma 124

1 Abụ nrigo. Nke Devid. A sị na Onyenwe anyị adịnyereghị anyị, ka Izrel kwuo,

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

2 a sị na Onyenwe anyị adịnyereghị anyị, mgbe ndị mmadụ biliri imegide anyị,

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

3 mgbe iwe ha rere dịka ọkụ megide anyị, ha gaara eloda anyị na ndụ;

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned against us;

4 idee mmiri gaara iri anyị, oke mmiri gaara ebufu anyị,

Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

5 ebili mmiri niile gaara ebufu anyị.

The proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Ma otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, onye na-ekweghị ka ha jiri eze ha dọrie anyị.

Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us a prey to their teeth!

7 Anyị agbanarịla ha dịka nwa nnụnụ si gbanarị ọnya osi ọnya chọrọ iji jide ya; ọnya ahụ agbajiela, anyị ewezugakwala onwe anyị, nwere onwe anyị.

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

8 Inyeaka anyị dị nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, onye kere eluigwe na ụwa.

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