Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
1Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē: ʻe tuʻumaʻu pe ʻene fakafetaʻi ʻi hoku ngutu.
2Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
2ʻE vikiviki hoku laumālie ʻia Sihova: ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai angavaivai, pea fiefia ai.
3Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
3Ketau fai mo au ke hapai hake ʻa Sihova, pea ketau fakaongoongolelei fakataha hono huafa.
4Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
4Naʻaku kumi kia Sihova, pea ne ongoʻi au, ʻo ne fakamoʻui au mei heʻeku manavahē kotoa pē.
5Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
5Naʻa nau vakai kiate ia, pea māmangia ai: pea naʻe ʻikai mā ai honau mata.
6Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
6Naʻe tangi ʻae tangata masiva ni, pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻe Sihova, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ia mei heʻene mamahi kotoa pē.
7For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
7ʻOku nofo ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻo takatakai ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
8Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
8Mou kamata ʻo vakai ʻoku lelei ʻa Sihova: ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku falala kiate ia.
9But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
9Ke manavahē kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku ʻikai ha masiva kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia.
10All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
10ʻOku masiva ʻae fanga laione mui, mo fiekaia: ka ko kinautolu ʻoku kumi kia Sihova ʻe ʻikai te nau masiva ʻi ha meʻa lelei ʻe taha.
11Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
11Haʻu, ʻakimoutolu ko e fānau, ʻo fanongo kiate au: te u ako kiate kimoutolu ʻae manavahē kia Sihova.
12They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
12Ko hai ha tangata ʻoku holi ke moʻui, ʻo manako ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi, koeʻuhi ke ne mamata ai ki he lelei?
13But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
13Taʻofi ho ʻelelo mei he kovi, mo ho loungutu mei he lea kākā.
14As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
14Afe mei he kovi, mo ke fai lelei; kumi ki he melino, pea tuli ki ai.
15But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
15ʻOku ʻafio maʻu ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe hono telinga ʻenau tangi.
16They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
16ʻOku houhau ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi, ke motuhi honau fakamanatuʻi mei māmani.
17Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
17ʻOku tangi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ongoʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē.
18I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
18ʻOku ofi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto mafesi; ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku laumālie mafōfoa.
19Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
19ʻOku lahi ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku fakamoʻui ia mei ai kotoa pē ʻe Sihova.
20For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
20ʻOku ne tauhi hono ngaahi hui kotoa pē: ʻe ʻikai mafesi ha taha.
21And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
21ʻE fakapoongi ʻe he kovi ʻae kau angahala: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa ki he kau māʻoniʻoni te nau malaʻia.
22Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
22ʻOku huhuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻe ʻikai malaʻia ha tokotaha ʻokinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia.
23Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
