Psalms 124

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

ISRAEL en inda: Ma Ieowa sota pan kotin ieiang kit,

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

Ma Ieowa sota pan kotin ieiang kit, ni en aramas akan ar palian kit,

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

Re pan katala kit ala ni at memaur, ni ar lingarangar kin kit.

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

Pil akan ap pan kamop kit ala, pilap akan kadupwaledi ngen it.

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

Pil akan itida melel lao kadupwaledi ngen it.

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

Kaping ong Ieowa, me sota mueid ong, ngi arail en ter kit pasang!

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

Ngen it piti sang insar en sauninsar dueta manpir amen; insar ola, a kit pitila.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Sauas pat iei mar en Ieowa, me kotin kapikadar lang o sappa.
