Psalms 124

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

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Kama Bwana asingalikuwa upande wetu; Israeli na aseme sasa:

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

kama Bwana asingalikuwa upande wetu, wakati watu walipotushambulia,

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

wakati hasira yao ilipowaka dhidi yetu, wangalitumeza tungali hai,

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

mafuriko yangalitugharikisha, maji mengi yangalitufunika,

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

maji yaendayo kasi yangalituchukua.

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

Bwana asifiwe, yeye ambaye hakuruhusu turaruliwe kwa meno yao.

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

Tumeponyoka kama ndege kutoka mtego wa mwindaji; mtego umevunjika, nasi tukaokoka.

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

Msaada wetu ni katika jina la Bwana, Muumba wa mbingu na dunia.
