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);

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
