Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

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

2 If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

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

3 Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

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

4 Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;

Na sronot u pokkutla, Kof u afwinkutla,

5 Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

A kof pulkulak akwalomyekutla.”

6 Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are escaped:

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

8 Our help, is in the Name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

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