Psalms 124

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

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

2 If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

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

3 Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned 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 overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

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

5 The proud waters had gone over our soul.

kamoek tuinawk loe aicae pakhra nuiah long o tih boeh.

6 Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us a prey to their teeth!

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

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; The snare is 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 the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

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