< Psalms 124 >
1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—
Yahweh Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh? Israelte jousen velseikit hen.
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
Min eina delkhum pettah'un Yahweh Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh,
3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
amahon alunghan u deojah pum in ahingin eina vallhum tauvinte.
4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
Twi chun einachup uvintin, twikhanglen chun einalhohmang diu ahitai.
5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.
Hitiachu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Igalmiteu einasuhmang sah louva Yahweh Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.
7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
Eiho thang kampa a kon a vacha ahoidoh banga hoidoh ihiuve. Thangpou chu akivobong tan eiho ihoidoh tauve.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Hitobanga kithopina chu vanle lei sem ah Yahweh Pakai a kon a imu'u ahi.
