Psalms 124

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

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

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

Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, 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 YHWH, 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 YHWH, who made heaven and earth.

Ũteithio witũ uumaga harĩ Jehova, o we Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
