1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
1Dai Jehovha asaiva nesu, Isiraeri ngavadaro;
2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
2Dai Jehovha asaiva nesu, Panguva yatakamukirwa navanhu;
3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
3Vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu, Panguva yatakamukirwa nehasha dzavo;
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
4Mvura zhinji ingadai yakatifukidza, Rwizi rungadai rwakapfuura napamusoro pomweya wedu.
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
5Mvura zhinji, inozvikudza, ingadai yakapfuura napamusoro pomweya wedu.
6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
6Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, Iye asina kutiisa kuti tiparadzwe nameno avo.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
7Mweya wedu wapukunyuka seshiri parugombe rwomuteyi weshiri; Rugombe rwadambuka, isu tapukunyuka.
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
8Kubatsirwa kwedu kuri muzita raJehovha, Akaita kudenga napasi.
