Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, 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 YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

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

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

6 Blessed be YHWH, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is 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, who made heaven and earth.

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