Psalms 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may 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 the LORD who was on our side, 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 quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream 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 the LORD, who has not given us as 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 are 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

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