Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

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

2 ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

3 then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

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

4 Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

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

5 then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

Pil akan itida melel lao kadupwaledi ngen it.

6 Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

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

7 We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

8 Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.

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