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 of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
