Psalms 124

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

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

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

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

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up 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 is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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 Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

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