Tingtoeng 124

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

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

If the LORD had not been 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 had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned against us;

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

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 the LORD, Who hath not given us 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.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; 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 the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
