Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Kama Bwana asingalikuwa upande wetu; Israeli na aseme sasa:

2 if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

kama Bwana asingalikuwa upande wetu, wakati watu walipotushambulia,

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

wakati hasira yao ilipowaka dhidi yetu, wangalitumeza tungali hai,

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

mafuriko yangalitugharikisha, maji mengi yangalitufunika,

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

maji yaendayo kasi yangalituchukua.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

Bwana asifiwe, yeye ambaye hakuruhusu turaruliwe kwa meno yao.

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Tumeponyoka kama ndege kutoka mtego wa mwindaji; mtego umevunjika, nasi tukaokoka.

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

Msaada wetu ni katika jina la Bwana, Muumba wa mbingu na dunia.
