Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel 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 rose up against us:

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream 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 the LORD, who has not given us as 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 are escaped.

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, who made heaven and earth.
