Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Israaʼel akkana haa jedhu: Utuu Waaqayyo garee keenya taʼuu baatee,

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

utuu Waaqayyo garee keenya taʼuu baatee, yommuu namoonni nutti kaʼanitti,

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

yommuu aariin isaanii nutti bobaʼetti, silaa isaan utuu nu lubbuun jirruu nu liqimsu turan;

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

lolaan nu liqimsee dhaʼaan bishaanii nurra yaaʼa ture;

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

bishaan hamaan nu fudhatee bada ture.

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

Waaqayyo akka nu ilkaan isaaniitiin cicciramnuuf dabarsee itti nu hin kennin sun haa eebbifamu.

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Akkuma simbirri kiyyoo adamsituu jalaa baatu, nu isaan jalaa baaneerra; kiyyoon ni ciccite; nus jalaa baane.

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

Gargaarsi keenya maqaa Waaqayyoo, Uumaa samii fi lafa sanaa ti.
