Psalms 124

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

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

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

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

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

apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;

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

mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.

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

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Tapunyuka seshiri yabva parugombe rwomuteyi; rugombe rwadamburwa uye tapunyuka.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

Kubatsirwa kwedu kuri muzita raJehovha, Muiti wedenga nenyika.
