1Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. [1 Kings 24]
1Ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻE ʻOtua: he ʻoku fie folo hifo au ʻe he tangata; ʻoku ne tauʻi au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa, ʻo ne taʻomia au.
2Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
2Ko e loto ʻo hoku ngaahi fili ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke folo hifo au: he ʻoku tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauʻi au, ʻE Fungani Māʻolunga.
3I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
3ʻI he ʻaho ʻoku ou manavahē ai, te u falala kiate koe.
4He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
4Te u fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi heʻene folofola; ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki he meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he kakai kiate au.
5And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5ʻOku nau fakakehe ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: ko ʻenau fakakaukau kotoa pē ke u kovi ai au.
6Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
6ʻOku nau fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau fakafufū ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau vakai hoku ʻaluʻanga, ʻi heʻenau holi ki heʻeku moʻui.
7They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
7Te nau hao koā ʻi heʻenau hia? ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke lī ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻi he houhau.
8My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.
8ʻOku ke lau ʻa ʻeku ʻalu fano pē: ke ke ʻutu hoku ngaahi loʻimata ki hoʻo hina: ʻikai ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻi hoʻo tohi?
9Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
9ʻO kau ka tangi kiate koe, ʻe foki kimui ai ʻa hoku ngaahi fili: ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni; he ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae ʻOtua.
10I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
10Te u fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi heʻene folofola: te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi heʻene folofola.
11For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
11Kuo u falala ki he ʻOtua: ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki ha meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he tangata kiate au.
12Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
12ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi fuakava: te u ʻatu ʻae fakamālō kiate koe,

13He kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he mate: pea ʻikai te ke fakahaofi hoku vaʻe mei he hinga, koeʻuhi ke u ʻeveʻeva ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he maama ʻoe kakai moʻui?
