Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

IJRAEL en inda: Ma Ieowa jota pan kotin ieian kit.

2 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,

Ma Ieowa jota pan kotin ieian kit, ni en aramaj akan ni palian kit.

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

Re pan katala kit ala ni at memaur, ni ar linaranar kin kit.

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;

Pil akan ap pan kamop kit ala, pilap akan kadupwaledi nen it.

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

Pil akan itida melel lao kadupwaledi nen it.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Kapin on Ieowa, me jota mueid on, ni arail en ter kit pajan!

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Nen it piti jan injar en jaun injar dueta manpir amen; injar ola, a kit pitila.

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

Jauaj pat iei mar en Ieowa, me kotin kapikadar lan o jappa.
