Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Israel loh, “Mamih ham BOEIPA te om pawt koinih,” ti laeh saeh.

2 ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

Hlang loh mamih taengah a tlai vaengah mamih ham BOEIPA om pawt koinih;

3 then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger 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’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

Tui loh mamih n'yo vetih soklong loh mamih hinglu he a kawt pawn ni.

5 then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

6 Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

Amih no dongah maeh la mamih aka tloeng pawh BOEIPA te a yoethen pai saeh.

7 We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are 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 the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.

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