Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

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

if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

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

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

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

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

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

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

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

Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for 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 has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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.
