La Bu 124

1 Yahweh Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh? Israelte jousen velseikit hen.

A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

2 Min eina delkhum pettah'un Yahweh Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh,

if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

3 amahon alunghan u deojah pum in ahingin eina vallhum tauvinte.

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

4 Twi chun einachup uvintin, twikhanglen chun einalhohmang diu ahitai.

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

5 Hitiachu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmang sah louva Yahweh Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Eiho thang kampa a kon a vacha ahoidoh banga hoidoh ihiuve. Thangpou chu akivobong tan eiho ihoidoh tauve.

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Hitobanga kithopina chu vanle lei sem ah Yahweh Pakai a kon a imu'u ahi.

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