Psalms 124

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

[Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD El funu tia wi kut la, lukun fuka? O Israel, kowos in topuk!

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

“LEUM GOD El funu tia wi kut le, Ke mwet lokoalok elos mweun lain kut

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

Kut lukun moul na elos ukumkutla Ke sripen kasrkusrak lulap lalos sesr;

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

Na sronot u pokkutla, Kof u afwinkutla,

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

A kof pulkulak akwalomyekutla.”

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

Lela kut in sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD, Su tia filikutyang nu in poun mwet lokoalok lasr.

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

Kut tu kaingla oana sie won su kaingla liki sruf lun mwet sru won; Sruf u musalla a kut sukosokla!

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

Kasru lasr tuku sin LEUM GOD, Su orala kusrao ac faclu.
