Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, 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 that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

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

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

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

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, who made heaven and earth.

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