Psalms 124

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

Naho tsy nañolotse’ antika t’Iehovà, ie naname an-tikañe ondatio,

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

le ho nagodra’ iereo veloñe ami’ty fisolebaran-kabosehañe;

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

le ho ­nandempotse antika o ranoo, ho nisorotombak’ amo ain-tikañeo i torahañey,

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

Eka ho nalipo’ o rano mitroñeo o ain-tikañeo,

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

Andriaño t’Iehovà, fa tsy napò’e tika ho fitsatsàm-pamotsi’ iareo.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

Niborofotse tika hoe voroñe am-­bitsom-pitsindro-boroñe, nipototse i fandrikey, le nibotafotse tika.

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

Fañimbàn-tikañe ty tahina’ Iehovà, Andrianamboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy.
