Psalms 124

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

Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa, jo-Israel mondo owach kamano,

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

ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa kane ji omonjowa,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

e kinde mane mirima mabebni ka mach omakogi kodwa, to dine gimwonyowa ngili;

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

ataro dine odinonwa, ee, kodh yamo dine oywerowa,

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

kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Pak mondo odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma ok oseyie mondo gikidhwa gi lekegi.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Wasetony mana ka winyo mowuok e wino mar jachik winy; wino osechodi, to wan wasetony.

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

Konyruokwa ni e nying Jehova Nyasaye, Jachwech polo gi piny.
