Israeli na aseme sasa:
2kama Bwana asingalikuwa upande wetu,
wakati watu walipotushambulia,
3124:3 Za 35:25; Mit 1:12; Yer 51:34wakati hasira yao ilipowaka dhidi yetu,
wangalitumeza tungali hai,
4124:4 Za 88:17; 18:4mafuriko yangalitugharikisha,
maji mengi yangalitufunika,
5maji yaendayo kasi
yangalituchukua.
6Bwana asifiwe,
yeye ambaye hakuruhusu turaruliwe kwa meno yao.

Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6Praise be to the Lord,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
