Tingtoeng 124

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

“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should 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 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 would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

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 up 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 like 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, the maker of heaven and earth.
