Tingtoeng 124

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

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

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

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

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

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

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

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

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto 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 soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

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

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
