Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

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

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

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

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

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

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

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

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

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

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

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

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

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 helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

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