Psalms 124

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

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

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

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

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

Mamih taengah a thintoek neh a sai vaengah mamih he a hingsai n'dolh uh ni.

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

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

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

Mamih kah hinglu tah vaa bangla pael neh a hlaeh khui lamloh loeih. Pael te rhek tih mamih n'loeih uh.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

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