Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

Bawipa mah ningnih benna ama awm mai mantaw – Israelkhqi ing kqawn seh –

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

Bawipa mah ningnih benna ama awm mai mantaw, thlangkhqi ing ningnih ani tuk khqi awh,

3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

cekkhqi ing ningnih ak khan awh amik kaw a so awh; ningnih ce a hqing na nik daih khqi hawh kaw;

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

tuibau ing ningnih ce ni sing malh kawmsaw, tuibak ce ningnih ak khan na tho hawh kaw,

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

tuibau tha ak awm ing ningnih ce ni zawn khqi hawh kaw.

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

Cekkhqi a ha ing ningnih am choek nawh, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh.

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

Pha a ham dawng ak dunkung ak dawng awhkawng a hlawng pha amyihna ningnih taw ni awm uhy; dawnkhqui ce boet nawh, ningnih ce ni loet uhy.

8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

Ningmih bawmnaak taw dek ingkaw khan ak saikung, Bawipang ming awh ni a awm.
