Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.
1ʻOku ou falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā: fakamoʻui au ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
2Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
2Fakatokangaʻi ho telinga kiate au; ke vave hoʻo fakamoʻui au: ke ke ʻiate au ko e maka mālohi, ko e fale hūfanga ke fakamoʻui au.
3For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
3He ko koe ko hoku makatuʻu mo ʻeku kolo: ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa ke ke tataki au, ʻo fakahinohino au.
4You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
4Toho au mei he kupenga kuo nau ʻaʻau fakafufū kiate au: he ko koe ko hoku mālohi.
5Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
5ʻOku ou tuku atu hoku laumālie ki ho nima: kuo ke huhuʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni.
6I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
6Naʻaku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga loi pē: ka ʻoku ou falala kia Sihova.
7I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.
7Te u fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: he kuo ke tokanga ki heʻeku mamahi; kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku laumālie ʻi he ngaahi mamahi;
8You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
8Pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuni au ʻi he nima ʻoe fili: kuo ke fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu ʻataʻatā lahi.
9Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.
9ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku ou moʻua ʻi he mamahi: kuo ʻauha hoku mata ʻi he tangi, ʻio, ko hoku laumālie mo hoku kete.
10For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.
10He kuo ʻosi ʻeku moʻui ʻi he tangi, mo hoku ngaahi taʻu ʻi he mafulu: kuo fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi hoku mālohi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku hia, pea kuo ʻauha hoku ngaahi hui.
11Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.
11Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻo hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē, kae ʻāsili pe ki hoku ngaahi kaungāʻapi, pea ko e ilifiaʻanga ʻo hoku kaumeʻa: ko kinautolu naʻe mamata kiate au ʻi tuaʻā naʻa nau hola ʻiate au.
12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
12Kuo fakangalongaloʻi au mei he loto ʻo hangē ko e tangata kuo mate: kuo u tatau mo e ipu kuo maumau.
13For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
13He naʻaku fanongo ki he lauʻikovi ʻe he tokolahi: naʻe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē: lolotonga ʻenau fakakaukau fakataha kiate au, naʻa nau loto ke toʻo ʻeku moʻui.
14But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
14Ka naʻaku falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova: naʻaku pehē, Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua.
15My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
15Ko hoku ngaahi kuonga ʻoku ʻi ho nima: ke ke fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au.
16Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
16Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
17O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.
17ʻOua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā, ʻe Sihova; he naʻaku ui kiate koe: tuku ke mā ʻae kau angahala, tuku ke nau longo pē ʻi he faʻitoka.
18May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
18Tuku ke fakalongo pē ʻae ngaahi loungutu loi; ʻaia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakamamahi ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fielahi mo e manuki.
19How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!
19ʻOku fēfē hono lahi ʻo hoʻo angalelei, ʻaia kuo ke hilifaki maʻanautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe; ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻoku falala kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata!
20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
20Te ke fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lilo ʻo ho fofonga mei he fielahi ʻae tangata: te ke tauhi fakafufū pe ʻakinautolu ʻi ha ʻafioʻanga mei he fakakikihi ʻoe ngaahi ʻelelo.
21Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
21Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahā kiate au ʻene angalelei fakaofo ʻi he kolo mālohi.
22In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.
22He naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “kuo motuhi au mei he ʻao ʻo ho fofonga:” ka naʻa ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu ʻi heʻeku tangi kiate koe.
23Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
23Mou ʻofa kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē: he ʻoku tauhi ʻe Sihova ʻae kau angatonu, pea ʻoku ne totongi lahi ki he kau fai fakafielahi.
24Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
24Ke mou lototoʻa, pea te ne fakamālohi homou loto, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei kia Sihova.
