Nnwom 124

1 Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Dawid deɛ. Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa a, ma Israel nka.

The song of grecis `of Dauith. Israel seie now, No but for the Lord was in vs;

2 Sɛ anka Awurade nni yɛn afa ɛberɛ a nnipa to hyɛɛ yɛn so,

no but for `the Lord was in vs. Whanne men risiden vp ayens vs;

3 ɛberɛ a wɔn abufuo sɔree tiaa yɛn a, anka wɔmenee yɛn anikann;

in hap thei hadden swalewid vs quike. Whanne the woodnesse of hem was wrooth ayens vs;

4 anka nsuyire no bu faa yɛn so, anka ɔhweam no twee yɛn kɔeɛ,

in hap watir hadde sope vs vp.

5 anka nsuo a ano yɛ den no afa yɛn kɔ.

Oure soule passide thoruy a stronde; in hap oure soule hadde passide thoruy a watir vnsuffrable.

6 Nkamfoɔ nka Awurade a wɔamma ho kwan amma wɔamfa wɔn se antete yɛn mu.

Blessid be the Lord; that `yaf not vs in taking to the teeth of hem.

7 Yɛadwane sɛ anomaa afiri afirisumfoɔ afidie mu; afidie no mu abubu, ama yɛanya ɛkwan adwane.

Oure soule, as a sparowe, is delyuered; fro the snare of hunters. The snare is al to-brokun; and we ben delyuered.

8 Yɛn mmoa wɔ Awurade din mu, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfoɔ no.

Oure helpe is in the name of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
