Tingtoeng 124

1 David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Israel loh, “Mamih ham BOEIPA te om pawt koinih,” ti laeh saeh.

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

2 Hlang loh mamih taengah a tlai vaengah mamih ham BOEIPA om pawt koinih;

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3 Mamih taengah a thintoek neh a sai vaengah mamih he a hingsai n'dolh uh ni.

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

4 Tui loh mamih n'yo vetih soklong loh mamih hinglu he a kawt pawn ni.

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Amih no dongah maeh la mamih aka tloeng pawh BOEIPA te a yoethen pai saeh.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 Mamih kah hinglu tah vaa bangla pael neh a hlaeh khui lamloh loeih. Pael te rhek tih mamih n'loeih uh.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

8 Vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA ming dongah mamih bomkung om.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
