Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

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 Raha tsy Jehovah no nomba antsika, Raha nitsangana hamely antsika ny olona.

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

3 Dia nitelina antsika velona izy, Raha nirehitra tamintsika ny fahatezerany;

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

4 Dia nandifotra antsika ny rano, Ary nanafotra ny fanahintsika ny riaka;

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

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

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

6 Isaorana anie Jehovah, Izay tsy nanolotra antsika ho rembin’ ny nifiny.

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

7 Ny fanahintsika dia efa afaka tahaka ny vorona afaka tamin’ ny fandriky ny mpihaza: Tapaka ny fandrika, ka afaka isika.

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 Ny famonjena antsika dia amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.

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