Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

Thaburi ya Daudi Korwo Jehova ndaakoretwo arĩ mwena witũ; Isiraeli nĩmakiuge ũguo:

2 “if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when men rose up against us,

Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.

nĩmangĩatũmeririe tũrĩ muoyo; rĩrĩa marakara mao maatũrĩrĩmbũkĩire-rĩ,

4 The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

mũiyũro wa maaĩ nĩũngĩatũhubanĩirie, tũhumbwo nĩ nditi ya maaĩ macio;

5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.

Jehova arogoocwo, o we ũtaatũrekereirie tũtambuurangwo nĩ magego mao.

7 We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

Ithuĩ tũhonokete ta nyoni ĩhonokete mũtego-inĩ wa mũmĩtegi; mũtego nĩunangĩtwo, na ithuĩ nĩtũhonokete.

8 Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

Ũteithio witũ uumaga harĩ Jehova, o we Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
