Psalms 124

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;

Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

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

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

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

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

4 Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

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

5 Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

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

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

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

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.
