Dee 124 Psalm

En leet fonn nehejcht gone, fonn Doft.

Wan daut nijch wea jewast daut dee Herr Gott wea fa onns jewast. O mucht Iesrael saje;

Wan daut nijch wea jewast daut dee Herr Gott wea fa onns jewast aus Mensche jäajen onns kjeeme,

Dan wudde dee onns oppjeschluckt habe, aus äa Oaja jäajen onns brennd.

Dan wudde dee Wotasch äwa onns jewosche ha; groote Wotasch wudde onnse Seel bedakjt habe.

dan wudde dee dolle Wotasch äwa onnse Seel jekome senne.

Jesäajent es dee Herr Gott dee onns nijch äwajeef aus Raup fa äare Täne.

Onnse Seel es ütjeretst soo aus en Foagel ut däm Jriepa siene Schlenj; dee Schlenj es entwei jebroake, un wie sent utjeretst.

Onnse Help es enn däm Herr Gott siene Nome, dee de Himmels un dee Ead jemoakt haft.

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

If the Lord had not been on our side—
    let Israel say(A)
if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,
they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;
the flood(B) would have engulfed us,
    the torrent(C) would have swept over us,
the raging waters
    would have swept us away.

Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;(D)
the snare has been broken,(E)
    and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name(F) of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(G) and earth.
