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;

Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin Hadda reer binu Israa'iil ha yidhaahdeen,

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

Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,

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

Kolkaasay innagoo noolnool ina wada liqliqi lahaayeen, Markay aad inoogu cadhoodeen,

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

Kolkaasay biyuhu ina qarqin lahaayeen, Durdurna nafteennuu dul mari lahaa,

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

Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.

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

Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Aan inaga dhigin ugaadh ilkahoodu ay qabsadaan.

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

Nafteennu waxay u baxsatay sida shimbir uga baxsato dabinka shimbirrodabtaha, Dabinkii wuu go'ay, innaguna waynu baxsannay.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.
