Psalms 124

1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Isirayiri agamba nti, singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe,

2 if it had not been Jehovah who was on our side when men rose up against us,

singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us,

banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul,

Amataba g’obusungu bwabwe ganditusaanyizzaawo, ne mukoka n’atukulukutirako;

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Tuwonye ng’ekinyonyi bwe kiva ku mutego gw’abatezi; omutego gukutuse, naffe tuwonye!

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

Okubeerwa kwaffe kuli mu linnya lya Mukama, eyakola eggulu n’ensi.
