< Mapisarema 124 >

1 Rwiyo rworwendo rwaDhavhidhi. Israeri ngaati dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu,
A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
2 dai Jehovha akanga asiri kurutivi kwedu patakarwiswa navanhu,
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
3 apo kutsamwa kwavo kwakatimukira, vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu;
Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:
4 mafashamu angadai akatifukidza, mvura zhinji ingadai yakatikukura,
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
5 mvura zhinji ine hasha ingadai yakatirasira kure.
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, asina kutendera kuti tibvamburwe nameno avo.
Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Tapunyuka seshiri yabva parugombe rwomuteyi; rugombe rwadamburwa uye tapunyuka.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Kubatsirwa kwedu kuri muzita raJehovha, Muiti wedenga nenyika.
Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
