Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Israel loh, “Mamih ham BOEIPA te om pawt koinih,” ti laeh saeh.

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

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

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

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

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

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

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

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

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Mamih kah hinglu tah vaa bangla pael neh a hlaeh khui lamloh loeih. Pael te rhek tih mamih n'loeih uh.

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

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