Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA ni na awmkhai hoeh pawiteh, telah Isarelnaw ni atu a dei awh hane teh,

2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

BAWIPA teh maimouh koe lah awm hoeh pawiteh, taminaw ni na taran awh navah,

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

a lungkhuek awh vaiteh, maimouh hah hringo na payawp awh toe.

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

Hatnavah, tui ni maimanaw teh muen na ramuk teh tui ka lawng e ni, maimae hringnae van muen a lawng sin toe.

5 Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

Puenghoi kalawng e tui ni maimae hringnae teh muen a lawng sin toe, tie hah doeh.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

Ahnimouh ni hâ hoi na ai awh nahanelah, maimanaw hah ahnimouh koe na poe awh hoeh. BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm seh.

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Maimae hringnae teh, tangkam dawk hoi kahlout e tava patetlah a hlout toe. Tangkam a lawt teh, maimouh hlout awh toe.

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

Maimouh kabawpnae teh, kalvan hoi talai ka sak e BAWIPA min lahoi coe awh.
