Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

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

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: 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 name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

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