Psalms 124

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

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

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

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

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 YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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