Psalm 129

1 Israel, srumun luman akkeok lun mwet lokoalok nu suwos Oe ke kowos fusr ah me.

A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

2 “Oe ke nga fusr ah me nwe inge, Mwet lokoalok luk elos akkeokyeyu arulana upa, Tusruktu elos tiana kutangyula.

Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.

3 Elos kanteya fintukuk arulana loal Oana ke elos pikin acn in orek ima lalos uh.

The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.

4 Tusruktu LEUM GOD, su arulana suwoswos, El aksukosokyeyula liki moul in kohs.”

The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

5 Lela tuh elos nukewa su srunga Zion In kutangyukla ac lillilyak.

Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.

6 Lela tuh elos in oana mah su yoki oan fin mangon lohm uh, Su paola ac tia ku in kapak.

Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.

7 Wangin mwet sifelosyak inpaolos, Ku losani ac usla.

Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.

8 Wangin mwet su fahsr alukela acn se inge fah fahk, “Lela God Elan akinsewowoye kom! Kut akinsewowoye kom ke Inen LEUM GOD.”

Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
