Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

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

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

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

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned 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.

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 hath not given us 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.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; 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 the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
