Saam 124

1 David ih kasang laa. Aicae bangah Angraeng om ai nahaeloe, Israelnawk mah hae tiah thui o nasoe;

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

2 aicae bangah Angraeng om ai nahaeloe, kaminawk loe aicae ih misa ah om o tih,

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

3 nihcae mah aicae han palung ang phui o thuih naah, aicae to kahing ah na paaeh o tih boeh;

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

4 kalen tui mah aicae khuk khoep ueloe, aicae pakhra nuiah tui to long tih boeh;

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 kamoek tuinawk loe aicae pakhra nuiah long o tih boeh.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

6 Nihcae mah aicae haa hoi kaek hanah paek ai, Angraeng loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

7 Aicae ih pakhra loe dongh patung kami ih dongh thung hoi kaloih tavaa baktiah loih o; dongh qui to apet dok moe, aicae loe a loih o.

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 Aicae abomhaih loe van hoi long sahkung, Angraeng ih ahmin ah ni oh.

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