Psalms 30
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1(30-1) A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David. (30-2) I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
1Te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; he kuo ke hiki hake au, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kiate au.
2(30-3) O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
2ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, naʻaku tangi kiate koe, pea kuo ke fakamoʻui au.
3(30-4) O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
3ʻE Sihova, kuo ke ʻohake hoku laumālie mei hētesi: kuo ke fakatolonga ʻeku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
4(30-5) Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
4Hiva kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻi he manatu ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
5(30-6) For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
5He ʻoku hangē ko e kemo ʻoe mata hono houhau; ʻoku ai ʻae moʻui ʻi heʻene ʻofa: kapau ʻe ai ha tangi ʻi he pō, ʻe hoko ʻae fiefia ʻi he pongipongi.
6(30-7) Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'
6Pea ʻi heʻeku monūʻia naʻaku pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u ngaueue ʻo lauikuonga.”
7(30-8) Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
7ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻae mālohi ki hoku moʻunga: naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga, pea ne u mamahi ai.
8(30-9) Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:
8Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ne u fai ʻeku kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova.
9(30-10) 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
9“Ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻo hoku toto, ʻo kau ka ʻalu hifo ki he luo? ʻE fakafetaʻi ʻae efu kiate koe? ʻe fakahā ʻe ia hoʻo moʻoni?
10(30-11) Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'
10Fanongo mai, ʻE Sihova, pea ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au: ʻE Sihova, ke ke hoko ko e tokoni kiate au.”
11(30-12) Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
11Kuo ke liliu kiate au ʻeku tangi ko e meʻe hopohopo: kuo ke vete hoku tauangaʻa, pea fakavala ʻaki au ʻae fiefia;
12(30-13) So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
12Koeʻuhi ke hiva ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻelelo ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa longo pē. ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, te u ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻo taʻengata.
