Psalms 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Bawipa mah ningnih benna ama awm mai mantaw – Israelkhqi ing kqawn seh –

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Bawipa mah ningnih benna ama awm mai mantaw, thlangkhqi ing ningnih ani tuk khqi awh,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

cekkhqi ing ningnih ak khan awh amik kaw a so awh; ningnih ce a hqing na nik daih khqi hawh kaw;

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

tuibau ing ningnih ce ni sing malh kawmsaw, tuibak ce ningnih ak khan na tho hawh kaw,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

tuibau tha ak awm ing ningnih ce ni zawn khqi hawh kaw.

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

Cekkhqi a ha ing ningnih am choek nawh, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Pha a ham dawng ak dunkung ak dawng awhkawng a hlawng pha amyihna ningnih taw ni awm uhy; dawnkhqui ce boet nawh, ningnih ce ni loet uhy.

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

Ningmih bawmnaak taw dek ingkaw khan ak saikung, Bawipang ming awh ni a awm.
