Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

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

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

8 Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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