Zabura 124

1 Waƙar haurawa. Ta Dawuda. Da ba don Ubangiji ya kasance a gefenmu ba, bari Isra’ila yă ce,

A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

2 da ba don Ubangiji ya kasance a gefenmu ba sa’ad da aka auka mana,

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

3 sa’ad da fushinsu ya ƙuna a kanmu, ai, da sun haɗiye mu da rai;

They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

4 da rigyawa ta kwashe mu, da ambaliya ta rufe mu.

We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

6 Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, wanda bai bari aka yayyage mu da haƙoransu ba.

Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

7 Mun tsira kamar tsuntsu daga tarkon mai farauta; an tsinke tarko, muka kuwa tsira.

Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

8 Taimakonmu yana a sunan Ubangiji, Wanda ya yi sama da ƙasa.

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