Psalms 124

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

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

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

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

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

apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;

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

mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,

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

mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.

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

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.

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

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.
