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. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

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

‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, 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 would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by 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 are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
