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 the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, 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;

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

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

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as 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 is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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.
