Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

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

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

kamoek tuinawk loe aicae pakhra nuiah long o tih boeh.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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 YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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