Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, let Israel now say;

ISRAEL en inda: Re katoutou ia melel sang ni ai tikitik lel met pak toto.

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: yet they have not prevailed against me.

Pan pak toto re katoutou ia melel sang ni ai tikitik lel met; ari so, re sota kak kaloe ia di.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Men sapasap weirada pon tinsau ai, wiadar warawar reirei.

4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

A Ieowa me pung, a kotin lepuk pasanger sal en me doo sang Kot akan.

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

Karos me kin tataki Sion, en sarodi o tangwei!

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

Ren rasong rä pon os en im o, me kin mong pena mon a pan ususda!

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

Me sota kin kadirela kumut en pa en saundolung, de pa en me kin pir pena kap akan.

8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.

Pwe me kin daulul wasa o, ren der inda: Kot en kotin kupura maui komail! Kit kapai komail da ni mar en Ieowa!
