Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

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

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

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

3 then they would have 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 would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

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

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Pil akan itida melel lao kadupwaledi nen it.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

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

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