Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

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

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, 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.
