Psalms 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1(5-1) For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. (5-2) Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
1Ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻE Sihova, tokanga ki heʻeku fakalaulauloto.
2(5-3) Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.
2Ke ke fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku tangi, ʻE hoku tuʻi, mo hoku ʻOtua: he te u lotu pe kiate koe.
3(5-4) O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.
3Ko hoku leʻo te ke ongoʻi ʻE Sihova, ʻi he pongipongi; ʻi he pongipongi te u ʻohake ʻeku lotu kiate koe, pea u hanga hake.
4(5-5) For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.
4He ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua koe ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he angahala: pea ʻe ʻikai nonofo mo koe ʻae kovi.
5(5-6) The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
5ʻE ʻikai tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae kau vale: ʻoku ke fehiʻa ki he kakai fai kovi kotoa pē.
6(5-7) Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; the LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.
6Te ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea loi: ʻe fakaliliʻa ʻa Sihova ki he tangata pani toto mo kākā.
7(5-8) But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.
7Ka ko au, te u hū ki ho fale ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: pea ʻi he manavahē kiate koe te u hū ʻi he faletapu ʻo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
8(5-9) O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.
8Tataki au, ʻE Sihova, ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili; fakatotonu ho hala ʻi hoku mata.
9(5-10) For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.
9He ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻoni ʻi honau ngutu; ʻoku mātuʻaki kovi honau loto; ko honau kia ko e fonualoto kuo matangaki; ʻoku nau lapu ʻaki honau ʻelelo.
10(5-11) Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.
10Ke ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻE ʻOtua; tuku ke nau hinga ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakakaukau ʻanautolu; ke ke lī kituʻa ʻakinautolu ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻenau talangataʻa; he kuo nau angatuʻu kiate koe.
11(5-12) So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.
11Kae tuku ke fiefia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku falala kiate koe: ke nau kalanga maʻuaipē ʻi he fiefia, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo maluʻi ʻakinautolu: tuku ke fiefia ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki ho huafa.
12(5-13) For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
12He ko koe, ʻE Sihova, te ke tāpuaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni; te ke kāpui ʻaki ia ʻae ʻofa ʻo hangē ko e fakaū.
