Tingtoeng 124

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

IF it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, 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 quick, when their wrath 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, the stream 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 the Lord, who hath not given us as 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 are 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.
