Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

Raha tsy Jehovah no nomba antsika, Raha nitsangana hamely antsika ny olona.

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

Dia nitelina antsika velona izy, Raha nirehitra tamintsika ny fahatezerany;

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

Dia nandifotra antsika ny rano, Ary nanafotra ny fanahintsika ny riaka;

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Isaorana anie Jehovah, Izay tsy nanolotra antsika ho rembin’ ny nifiny.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

Ny fanahintsika dia efa afaka tahaka ny vorona afaka tamin’ ny fandriky ny mpihaza: Tapaka ny fandrika, ka afaka isika.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Ny famonjena antsika dia amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
