unelanvhi dikanogidv 121:1-2 / ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏛ 121:1-2 / Psalm 121:1-2

aya asaladodose aqua agadolidine
gadusidi didla, hatlv nidvlenvda

aqua alisdelvdo nvlase
unelanvhi nidvlenvda,
na gotlvdise galvladi-tsosvne
ale elohine.

Here is the Cherokee, for comparison:

gadusi widigagani nahna
tsvdidalehvsga aqualinigo-hisdisgi
unelanvhi agisdelisgi nasgi
uwesvnvhi galvladi
ale elohi.

And the English:

I will lift up my eyes
to the hills, from where
my help comes.
My help comes
from the Lord,
who made heaven
and earth.
