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 degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

2 ìbá má ṣe pé Olúwa tó wà ní tiwa, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gbógun sí wa,

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

3 nígbà náà ni wọn ò bá gbé wà mì láààyè nígbà tí ìbínú wọn ru sí wa,

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

4 nígbà náà ni omi wọ̀n-ọn-nì ìbá bò wá mọ́lẹ̀,

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5 nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

6 Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, tí kò fi wá fún wọ́n bí ohun ọdẹ fún eyín wọn.

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

7 Ọkàn wa yọ bí ẹyẹ jáde kúrò nínú okùn apẹyẹ; okùn já àwa sì yọ.

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

8 Ìrànlọ́wọ́ wa ń bẹ ní orúkọ Olúwa, tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
