Psalms 124

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

Thaburi ya Daudi Korwo Jehova ndaakoretwo arĩ mwena witũ; Isiraeli nĩmakiuge ũguo:

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

nĩmangĩatũmeririe tũrĩ muoyo; rĩrĩa marakara mao maatũrĩrĩmbũkĩire-rĩ,

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

mũiyũro wa maaĩ nĩũngĩatũhubanĩirie, tũhumbwo nĩ nditi ya maaĩ macio;

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

Jehova arogoocwo, o we ũtaatũrekereirie tũtambuurangwo nĩ magego mao.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

Ithuĩ tũhonokete ta nyoni ĩhonokete mũtego-inĩ wa mũmĩtegi; mũtego nĩunangĩtwo, na ithuĩ nĩtũhonokete.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

Ũteithio witũ uumaga harĩ Jehova, o we Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
