Psalms 124

1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

Rwiyo rworwendo rwaDhavhidhi. Israeri ngaati dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu,

2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,

5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.

6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.

7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

Tapunyuka seshiri yabva parugombe rwomuteyi; rugombe rwadamburwa uye tapunyuka.

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

Kubatsirwa kwedu kuri muzita raJehovha, Muiti wedenga nenyika.
