Psalms 124

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

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

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

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

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

apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;

4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,

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

mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.

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

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.

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

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.
