1 David ih kasang laa. Aicae bangah Angraeng om ai nahaeloe, Israelnawk mah hae tiah thui o nasoe;
A song of ascents. Of David. “Had it not been the Lord who was for us” let Israel say
2 aicae bangah Angraeng om ai nahaeloe, kaminawk loe aicae ih misa ah om o tih,
“Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,
3 nihcae mah aicae han palung ang phui o thuih naah, aicae to kahing ah na paaeh o tih boeh;
then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.
4 kalen tui mah aicae khuk khoep ueloe, aicae pakhra nuiah tui to long tih boeh;
Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:
5 kamoek tuinawk loe aicae pakhra nuiah long o tih boeh.
then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.”
6 Nihcae mah aicae haa hoi kaek hanah paek ai, Angraeng loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe.
Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by 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.
We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. 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 the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
