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,

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

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

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have 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 would have 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have 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.
