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

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

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

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled 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 would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

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

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

kamoek tuinawk loe aicae pakhra nuiah long o tih boeh.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. 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 LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.

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