Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. 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 LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.

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