Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

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

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to 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 is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
