Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

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

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

Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,

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

nĩmangĩatũmeririe tũrĩ muoyo; rĩrĩa marakara mao maatũrĩrĩmbũkĩire-rĩ,

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

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

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

Jehova arogoocwo, o we ũtaatũrekereirie tũtambuurangwo nĩ magego mao.

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

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.
