Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

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

2 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;

lolaan nu liqimsee dhaʼaan bishaanii nurra yaaʼa ture;

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

bishaan hamaan nu fudhatee bada ture.

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

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

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

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

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