Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

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

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

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

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

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

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

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