Zabura 124

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

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

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

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

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

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

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

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

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

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

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

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

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

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