Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

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

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have 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 YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.
