Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

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

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

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

lolaan nu liqimsee dhaʼaan bishaanii nurra yaaʼa ture;

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

bishaan hamaan nu fudhatee bada ture.

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

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

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

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