Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

2 If [it had not been] the LORD 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 had swallowed us up quick, 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 had overwhelmed us, the stream had 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 had gone over our soul.

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

6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath 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 is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are 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 the LORD, 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.
