Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been the LORD 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 the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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.
