Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

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

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Tapunyuka seshiri yabva parugombe rwomuteyi; rugombe rwadamburwa uye tapunyuka.

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

Kubatsirwa kwedu kuri muzita raJehovha, Muiti wedenga nenyika.
