Tingtoeng 124

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

A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

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

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a 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.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
