Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

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

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

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

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

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

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

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

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

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

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