Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,

3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

nĩmangĩatũmeririe tũrĩ muoyo; rĩrĩa marakara mao maatũrĩrĩmbũkĩire-rĩ,

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

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

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

Jehova arogoocwo, o we ũtaatũrekereirie tũtambuurangwo nĩ magego mao.

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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