Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

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

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

Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

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

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

7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. 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.
