Psalms 124

1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

David ih kasang laa. Aicae bangah Angraeng om ai nahaeloe, Israelnawk mah hae tiah thui o nasoe;

2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

aicae bangah Angraeng om ai nahaeloe, kaminawk loe aicae ih misa ah om o tih,

3 Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

nihcae mah aicae han palung ang phui o thuih naah, aicae to kahing ah na paaeh o tih boeh;

4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

kalen tui mah aicae khuk khoep ueloe, aicae pakhra nuiah tui to long tih boeh;

5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

kamoek tuinawk loe aicae pakhra nuiah long o tih boeh.

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

Nihcae mah aicae haa hoi kaek hanah paek ai, Angraeng loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe.

7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Aicae ih pakhra loe dongh patung kami ih dongh thung hoi kaloih tavaa baktiah loih o; dongh qui to apet dok moe, aicae loe a loih o.

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

Aicae abomhaih loe van hoi long sahkung, Angraeng ih ahmin ah ni oh.
