Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
1ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ki he tuʻi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tuʻi.
2May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
2Te ne fakamaau hoʻo kakai ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, mo hoʻo kau masiva ʻaki ʻae fakamaau.
3May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
3ʻE ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae melino ki he kakai, mo e māʻoniʻoni mei he ngaahi tafungofunga.
4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
4ʻE fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae kakai mamahi, te ne fakamoʻui ʻae fānau ʻae masiva, pea te ne fesifesi ʻae fakamālohi.
5May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
5Te nau manavahē kiate koe ʻi he lolotonga ʻae kei tuʻu ʻae laʻā, mo e māhina, ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
6ʻE ʻalu hifo ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha ki he mohuku kuo tutuʻu: ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha tuʻu mo tō ʻoku fakaviviku ʻae fonua.
7May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
7ʻE tupu pē ʻae kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho; mo e melino lahi ʻaupito ʻi he kei tolonga ʻae māhina.
8May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
8ʻE pule ʻe ia foki mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
9May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
9ʻE punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa; pea ʻe ʻemo ʻae efu ʻe hono ngaahi fili.
10May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
10ʻE ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Tasisi pea mo e ngaahi motu: ʻe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sipa mo Sepa.
11May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
11ʻIo, ʻe punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: ʻE tauhi ia ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
12For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
12He te ne fakamoʻui ʻae masiva ʻi heʻene tangi; ʻae mamahi foki, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai hano tokoni.
13He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
13Te ne fakamoʻui ʻae vaivai mo e masiva, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoe kau masiva.
14He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
14ʻE huhuʻi ʻe ia honau laumālie mei he kākā mo e fakamālohi: pea ʻe mahuʻinga honau toto ʻi hono ʻao.
15Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
15Pea ʻe moʻui pe ia, pea ʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae koula ʻo Sipa: ʻE fai maʻuaipē ʻae lotu koeʻuhi ko ia; pea ʻe fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē,
16May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
16Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae falukunga ʻoe uite ʻi he fonua ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻe ngaueue hono fua ʻo ia ʻo hangē ko Lepanoni: pea ko kinautolu ʻi he kolo ʻe tupu pe ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻoe fonua.
17May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
17ʻE tuʻumaʻu hono huafa ʻo taʻengata, ʻe tolonga maʻuaipē hono huafa ʻo hangē ko e laʻā: pea ʻe monūʻia ʻae kakai ʻiate ia: ʻe ui ia ko e monūʻia ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
18Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia tokotaha pe ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo.
19And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
19Pea fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki hono huafa ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata: pea tuku ke pito ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi hono nāunau; ʻEmeni, mo ʻEmeni.
20Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
20Kuo ngata ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese.
