Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.
1ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au mei he tangata angakovi: fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi;
2Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
2ʻAia ʻoku mahalo kovi ʻi honau loto; ʻoku nau fakataha maʻuaipē ke tau.
3Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
3Kuo nau fakamāsila honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e ngata; ʻoku ʻai ʻae kona ʻoe ngata ʻi honau lalo loungutu. Sila.
4Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
4Fakahaofi au, ʻE Sihova, mei he nima ʻoe angahala; fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi, ʻaia kuo ne fakakaukau ke tulaki hifo hoku vaʻe.
5The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:
5Kuo tau fufū ʻe he laukau ʻae tauhele kiate au, mo e ngaahi afo; kuo nau ʻaʻau ʻae kupenga ʻi he veʻe hala; kuo nau teuteu ʻae ngaahi hele kiate au. Sila.
6Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
6Naʻaku pehē kia Sihova, “Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua:” ʻE Sihova, ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu.
7As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.
7ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki, ko e mālohi ʻo ʻeku fakamoʻui, kuo ke maluʻi hoku ʻulu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau.
8But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
8ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fai ki he ngaahi holi ʻae angahala: ʻoua naʻa ke tokoni ʻene fakakaukau kovi, telia naʻa nau hiki hake ʻakinautolu. Sila.
9Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
9Ka ko e ʻulu ʻokinautolu ʻoku nau kāpui au, tuku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kovi ʻo honau loungutu.
10The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
10Ke tō kiate kinautolu ʻae malalaʻi afi ʻoku vela: tuku ke lī ʻakinautolu ki he afi; ki he ngaahi luo tau mamaʻo, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau toetuʻu hake.
