Tingtoeng 124

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

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

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

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

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

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 to be 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 hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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.
