Psalms 124

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

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Kama Bwana asingalikuwa upande wetu; Israeli na aseme sasa:

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

kama Bwana asingalikuwa upande wetu, wakati watu walipotushambulia,

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

wakati hasira yao ilipowaka dhidi yetu, wangalitumeza tungali hai,

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

mafuriko yangalitugharikisha, maji mengi yangalitufunika,

5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

maji yaendayo kasi yangalituchukua.

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

Bwana asifiwe, yeye ambaye hakuruhusu turaruliwe kwa meno yao.

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

Tumeponyoka kama ndege kutoka mtego wa mwindaji; mtego umevunjika, nasi tukaokoka.

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

Msaada wetu ni katika jina la Bwana, Muumba wa mbingu na dunia.
