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 the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

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

Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 nígbà náà ni agbéraga omi ìbá borí ọkàn wa.

Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

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

Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
