Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Rwiyo rworwendo rwaDhavhidhi. Israeri ngaati dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu,

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

dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,

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

apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;

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

mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,

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

mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.

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

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Tapunyuka seshiri yabva parugombe rwomuteyi; rugombe rwadamburwa uye tapunyuka.

8 Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.

Kubatsirwa kwedu kuri muzita raJehovha, Muiti wedenga nenyika.
