Psalms 124

1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, let Israel now say,

I NA aole i noho pu o Iehova me kakou, Wahi a ka Iseraela,

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

Ina aole i noho pu o Iehova me kakou, I ka wa i ala ku e mai ai na kanaka ia kakou,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us,

Ina ua moni koke mai lakou ia kakou, I ka wela ana o ko lakou huhu ia kakou.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul,

Ina ua poipu hoi na wai maluna o kakou, A ua hiki mai ka waikahe maluna o ko kakou uhane:

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Ina ua kahe no hoi ka waiholomoku maluna o ko kakou uhane.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, Ka mea haawi ole ia kakou i waiwai pio i ko lakou niho.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Ua hoopakeleia no ko kakou uhane, Me he manu la, mai ka hei ana aku i ka poe lawaiamanu; Ua moku ka upena a ua hoopakeleia kakou.

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

Aia no ko kakou kokua, maloko o ka inoa o Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana ka lani me ka honua.
