Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

Bawipa mah ningnih benna ama awm mai mantaw – Israelkhqi ing kqawn seh –

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

Bawipa mah ningnih benna ama awm mai mantaw, thlangkhqi ing ningnih ani tuk khqi awh,

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

cekkhqi ing ningnih ak khan awh amik kaw a so awh; ningnih ce a hqing na nik daih khqi hawh kaw;

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

tuibau ing ningnih ce ni sing malh kawmsaw, tuibak ce ningnih ak khan na tho hawh kaw,

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

tuibau tha ak awm ing ningnih ce ni zawn khqi hawh kaw.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Cekkhqi a ha ing ningnih am choek nawh, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

Pha a ham dawng ak dunkung ak dawng awhkawng a hlawng pha amyihna ningnih taw ni awm uhy; dawnkhqui ce boet nawh, ningnih ce ni loet uhy.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Ningmih bawmnaak taw dek ingkaw khan ak saikung, Bawipang ming awh ni a awm.
