Psalms 124

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

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

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

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

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

apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;

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

mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,

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

mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.

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

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.

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

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.
