Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Naho tsy Iehovà ty nañimba antika —ano ty hoe r’Israele—

2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Naho tsy nañolotse’ antika t’Iehovà, ie naname an-tikañe ondatio,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

le ho nagodra’ iereo veloñe ami’ty fisolebaran-kabosehañe;

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

le ho ­nandempotse antika o ranoo, ho nisorotombak’ amo ain-tikañeo i torahañey,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Eka ho nalipo’ o rano mitroñeo o ain-tikañeo,

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

Andriaño t’Iehovà, fa tsy napò’e tika ho fitsatsàm-pamotsi’ iareo.

7 Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare [is] broken, and we have escaped.

Niborofotse tika hoe voroñe am-­bitsom-pitsindro-boroñe, nipototse i fandrikey, le nibotafotse tika.

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

Fañimbàn-tikañe ty tahina’ Iehovà, Andrianamboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy.
