Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

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

“if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when men rose up against us,

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

then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.

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

The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

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

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by 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 out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
