Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
1ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou falala kiate koe ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u mā ʻo taʻengata.
2In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
2Fakamoʻui au ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, pea tuku ke u hao: fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga kiate au, ʻo fakamoʻui au.
3Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
3Ke ke ʻiate au ko e nofoʻanga mālohi ʻaia te u hū maʻuaipē ki ai: kuo ke fekau ke fakamoʻui au; he ko koe ko hoku makatuʻu mo hoku hūfanga.
4Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
4ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala, mei he nima ʻoe kau tangata taʻemāʻoniʻoni mo angamālohi.
5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
5He ko koe, ʻE ʻEiki Sihova, ko ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei: ko koe ko hoku falalaʻanga talu ʻeku kei siʻi.
6I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
6Kuo ke poupou au talu ʻeku māvae mei he manāva: ko koe ia naʻe toʻo au mei he fatu ʻo ʻeku faʻē: te u fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē kiate koe.
7I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
7ʻOku ou hangē ko e meʻa fakaofo ki he tokolahi: ka ko koe ko hoku hūfanga mālohi.
8My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
8Tuku ke pito hoku ngutu ʻaki hoʻo fakamālō mo hoʻo fakaʻapaʻapa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
9Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
9Pea ʻoua naʻa siʻaki au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku motuʻa; ʻoua naʻa liʻaki au ʻoka mole ʻiate au ʻeku mālohi.
10For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
10He ʻoku lea kovi kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi fili; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku lamasi hoku laumālie ʻoku nau fakakaukau fakataha,
11saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
11ʻO nau pehē, “Kuo liʻaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua: fakatanga ʻo puke ia; he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ke fakamoʻui ia.”
12Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
12ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au: ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fai vave ke tokoni au.
13May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
13Tuku ke puputuʻu mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ko e fili ki hoku laumālie; ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae mā mo e manuki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke u kovi.
14But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
14Ka te u ʻamanaki lelei maʻuaipē, pea ʻe tupulekina pe ʻeku fakamālō kiate koe.
15My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
15ʻE fakahā atu ʻe hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo māʻoniʻoni mo hoʻo fakamoʻui ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ki hono lau ʻo ia.
16I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
16Te u ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ʻae ʻEiki ko Sihova: te u fakahā hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, ʻio, ʻoʻou pe.
17O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
17ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke akonakiʻi au talu ʻeku kei siʻi: pea talu mei muʻa mo ʻeku fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
18Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
18Pea ko eni foki, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku motuʻa mo ʻuluhinā, ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki au; kaeʻoua ke u fakahā ho mālohi ki he toʻutangata ni, mo hoʻo māfimafi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe haʻu.
19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
19Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni foki, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku māʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻa koe naʻa ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi: ʻE ʻOtua, ko hai ʻoku hangē ko koe!
20Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
20ʻA koe, kuo ke fakahā kiate au ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoku lahi mo kovi, te ke toe fakaake au, ʻo toe ʻohake au mei he loto kelekele.
21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
21Te ke fakatupulekina hoku nāunauʻia, ʻo fakafiemālieʻi au ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
22So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
22ʻE hoku ʻOtua, te u fakamālō foki kiate koe, ʻio, ki hoʻo moʻoni ʻaki ʻae saliteli: te u hiva kiate koe ʻaki ʻae haʻape, ʻa koe koe tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻa ʻIsileli.
23When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
23ʻE fiefia lahi hoku loungutu ʻo kau ka hiva kiate koe; mo hoku laumālie ʻaia kuo ke huhuʻi.
24My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
24ʻE talanoa ʻa hoku ʻelelo foki ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: he kuo puputuʻu, kuo hoko ʻo mā, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke u kovi.
