Zabura 124

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

A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, 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 that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

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

verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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.
