Psalms 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Akanapanda kukhala mbali yathu Yehova, anene tsono Israeli,

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

akanapanda kukhala mbali yathu Yehova, potiwukira anthuwo,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

iwo atatipsera mtima, akanatimeza amoyo;

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

chigumula chikanatimiza, mtsinje ukanatikokolola,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

madzi a mkokomo akanatikokolola.

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

Atamandike Yehova, amene sanalole kuti tikhale chakudya cha mano awo.

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

Moyo wathu wawonjoka ngati mbalame yokodwa mu msampha wa mlenje; msampha wathyoka, ndipo ife tapulumuka.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Thandizo lathu lili mʼdzina la Yehova wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
