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. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

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

“if it had not been Yahweh 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 would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.

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

The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

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

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us 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 have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
