(A song by David for worship.)
Thanking the Lord for Victory
1 The Lord was on our side!
Let everyone in Israel say:
2 “The Lord was on our side!
Otherwise, the enemy attack
3 would have killed us all,
because it was furious.
4 We would have been swept away
in a violent flood
5 of high and roaring waves.”
6 Let's praise the Lord!
He protected us from enemies
who were like wild animals,
7 and we escaped like birds
from a hunter's torn net.
8 The Lord made heaven and earth,
and he is the one
who sends us help.
Ndzimu mbhatshi we bathu bawo
1 Ha kwabe kusi Yahwe bakabe bama naswi,
Iziraela ngaalebeleke ngwenu ati,
2 ha kwabe kusi Yahwe bakabe bama naswi,
patakamukigwa nge bathu,
3 bangabe bakatimidza titjila,
pabakabe bakatigwadzilamoyo kwazo
4 tobe takasengwa nge nsundila
vula inobe yakating'wisa nkokhwi.
5 Vula yakabe yakatifukidza
inobe yakating'wisa nkokhwi.
6 Ngakukudziwe Yahwe
ibo basakatilonga
mu milomo ye zwibandana.
7 Takapudzumuka se nyuni
mu dati le bateyi be nyuni,
dati lathubuka,
ngono tikapudzumuka.
8 Bhatsho yedu imu zina la Yahwe,
bakabumba kudzimu ne shango.
