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 LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.

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