Psalms 124

1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

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

2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,

3 Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

nĩmangĩatũmeririe tũrĩ muoyo; rĩrĩa marakara mao maatũrĩrĩmbũkĩire-rĩ,

4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

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

5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

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

Jehova arogoocwo, o we ũtaatũrekereirie tũtambuurangwo nĩ magego mao.

7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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

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

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