Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

Ko e Hiva ʻa Tevita maʻae ʻalu hake. Kapau naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu, ʻoku totonu ke lea ni ʻa ʻIsileli;

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

“Kapau naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu, ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kiate kitautolu:

3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

Pehē, kuo nau folo hifo leva ʻakitautolu, ʻi he tupu ʻenau ʻita kiate kitautolu;

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

Pehē, kuo lōfia ʻakitautolu ʻe he ngaahi vai, kuo tafe ʻae vaitafe ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie:

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

Pea ʻalu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe laukau ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie.”

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakitautolu ko e meʻakai ki honau nifo.

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

Kuo hao hotau laumālie ʻo hangē ko e manupuna mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele: kuo maumauʻi ʻae tauhele, pea kuo tau hao ai.

8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

Ko hotau tokoni ʻoku ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
