Psalms 124

1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

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

3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

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

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

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

5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

Ny fanahintsika dia efa afaka tahaka ny vorona afaka tamin’ ny fandriky ny mpihaza: Tapaka ny fandrika, ka afaka isika.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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