< Psalms 124 >

1 Orin fún ìgòkè. Ti Dafidi. “Ìbá má ṣe pé Olúwa tí ó ti wà fún wa,” kí ni Israẹli kí ó máa wí nísinsin yìí;
A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—
2 ìbá má ṣe pé Olúwa tó wà ní tiwa, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gbógun sí wa,
if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3 nígbà náà ni wọn ò bá gbé wà mì láààyè nígbà tí ìbínú wọn ru sí wa,
when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
4 nígbà náà ni omi wọ̀n-ọn-nì ìbá bò wá mọ́lẹ̀,
then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
5 nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.
then the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, tí kò fi wá fún wọ́n bí ohun ọdẹ fún eyín wọn.
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 Ọkàn wa yọ bí ẹyẹ jáde kúrò nínú okùn apẹyẹ; okùn já àwa sì yọ.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
8 Ìrànlọ́wọ́ wa ń bẹ ní orúkọ Olúwa, tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
