Psalms 129

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

ISRAEL en inda: Re katoutou ia melel sang ni ai tikitik lel met pak toto.

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

Pan pak toto re katoutou ia melel sang ni ai tikitik lel met; ari so, re sota kak kaloe ia di.

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

Men sapasap weirada pon tinsau ai, wiadar warawar reirei.

4 The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

A Ieowa me pung, a kotin lepuk pasanger sal en me doo sang Kot akan.

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

Karos me kin tataki Sion, en sarodi o tangwei!

6 Let them be as the grass of the house-tops, which withers before it is plucked up.

Ren rasong rä pon os en im o, me kin mong pena mon a pan ususda!

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

Me sota kin kadirela kumut en pa en saundolung, de pa en me kin pir pena kap akan.

8 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.

Pwe me kin daulul wasa o, ren der inda: Kot en kotin kupura maui komail! Kit kapai komail da ni mar en Ieowa!
