Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Isirayiri agamba nti, singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe,

2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

Amataba g’obusungu bwabwe ganditusaanyizzaawo, ne mukoka n’atukulukutirako;

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

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

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Tuwonye ng’ekinyonyi bwe kiva ku mutego gw’abatezi; omutego gukutuse, naffe tuwonye!

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

Okubeerwa kwaffe kuli mu linnya lya Mukama, eyakola eggulu n’ensi.
