< Psalms 124 >
1 A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,
David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Israel loh, “Mamih ham BOEIPA te om pawt koinih,” ti laeh saeh.
2 “if it had not been Yahweh 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 anger raged against us.
Mamih taengah a thintoek neh a sai vaengah mamih he a hingsai n'dolh uh ni.
4 The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.
Tui loh mamih n'yo vetih soklong loh mamih hinglu he a kawt pawn ni.
5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”
Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.
6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.
Amih no dongah maeh la mamih aka tloeng pawh BOEIPA te a yoethen pai saeh.
7 We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA ming dongah mamih bomkung om.
