Psalms 33
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
1Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
2Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
2Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
3Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
3Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
4For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
4He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
5He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
5ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
6Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
7ʻOku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae vai ʻoe tahi ʻo hangē ko e tafungofunga: ʻoku ne faʻoaki ʻae moana ʻi he ngaahi feleoko.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
8Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
9For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
9He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
10ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
11Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
12ʻOku monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ko ia ʻoku ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova; pea mo e kakai kuo ne fili ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
13The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
13ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
14From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
14Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
15ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
16A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
16ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
17A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
17Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
18Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
19Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
20Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
20ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
21For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
21Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
22Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
22ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
