< Psalms 129 >

1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
ISRAEL en inda: Re katoutou ia melel sang ni ai tikitik lel met pak toto.
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed 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 plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
Men sapasap weirada pon tinsau ai, wiadar warawar reirei.
4 The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
A Ieowa me pung, a kotin lepuk pasanger sal en me doo sang Kot akan.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
Karos me kin tataki Sion, en sarodi o tangwei!
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up:
Ren rasong rä pon os en im o, me kin mong pena mon a pan ususda!
7 Wherewith the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds 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 which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless 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!
