Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
1ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, naʻaku tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi ho ʻao:
2May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
2Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku tangi;
3For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.
3He ʻoku fonu hoku laumālie ʻi he mamahi: pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻeku moʻui ki he faʻitoka.
4I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
4ʻOku lau fakataha au mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: ʻoku ou hangē ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai hano mālohi:
5I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
5ʻO tauʻatāina mo e kakai mate, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kuo tāmateʻi ʻoku tokoto ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai te ke kei manatuʻi: pea kuo motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻe ho nima.
6You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
6Kuo ke tuku au ʻi he luo taumamaʻo, ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻi he ngaahi loloto.
7Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah
7ʻOku tataʻo mamafa ho houhau ʻiate au, pea kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi peau kotoa pē. Sila.
8You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
8Kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa; kuo ke ngaohi au ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate kinautolu: kuo ʻākilotoa au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu atu.
9My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
9ʻOku vaivai hoku mata ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ui kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe.
10Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah
10Te ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ki he mate? ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae mate ʻo fakafetaʻi kiate koe? Sila.
11Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon ?
11ʻE fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he faʻitoka? Pe ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he fakaʻauha?
12Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
12ʻE ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he poʻuli? Mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻoe fakangalo?
13But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
13Ka naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻi he pongipongi ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu.
14Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
14ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai ʻa hoku laumālie? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fufū ai ho fofonga ʻiate au?
15From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
15ʻOku ou mamahi, pea meimei mate talu ʻeku kei talavou: ʻi heʻeku kātaki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻoku ou feinga ai ʻaupito.
16Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
16Kuo lōfia au ʻe ho houhau lahi; kuo motuhi au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakailifia.
17All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
17Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e vai; naʻa nau fakataha ʻo takatakai au.
18You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
18Ko e kaumeʻaʻofa mo e kāinga kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu ʻiate au, mo hoku kaumeʻa ki he poʻuli.
