King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
1Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Tevita kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe hiva ni ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fakamoʻui ai ia ʻe Sihova mei he nima ʻo hono fili kotoa pē, pea mei he nima ʻo Saula: ʻo ne pehē,
2And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
2Ko hoku makatuʻu ʻa Sihova, mo ʻeku kolo, mo hoku fakamoʻui;
3The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
3Ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoku mālohi; ko ia te u falala ki ai: ko hoku fakaū, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ko hoku fale māʻolunga, mo hoku hūfanga, mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻoku ke fakahaofi au mei he fakamālohiʻi.
4I will call on the LORD , who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4Te u ui kia Sihova ʻaia ʻoku taau mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi: pea ʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui au mei hoku ngaahi fili.
5When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
5ʻI heʻene kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate, naʻe fakamanavahēʻi au ʻe he lōmaki mai ʻae kau tangata angakovi;
6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
6Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe faʻitoka; naʻe talia au ʻe he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate
7In my distress I called upon the LORD , and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
7ʻI heʻeku mamahi naʻaku ui kia Sihova, mo tangi ki hoku ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne fanongo ki hoku leʻo mei hono faletapu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻa ʻeku tangi ki hono fofonga.
8Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
8Naʻe toki ngalulu ai ʻa māmani mo tetetete; naʻe ngaue mo lulululu ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe langi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene houhau.
9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu mei hono fofonga, pea naʻe keina ʻe he afi mei hono ngutu; naʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae fefie.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10Naʻa ne ofeʻi hifo foki ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo ne hāʻele hifo: pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae poʻuli.
11And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
11Pea naʻa ne heka ki he selupi, pea puna; pea naʻe hā mai ia ʻi he kapakau ʻoe matangi.
12And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
12Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fakapoʻuli ko e fale ke tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia, ko e ngaahi vai fakapoʻuli, mo e ngaahi ʻao matolu ʻoe langi.
13Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
13Ko e meʻa ʻi he uloulo ʻi hono ʻao naʻe tutu ai ʻae fefie ʻoe afi.
14The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
14Naʻe mana ʻa Sihova mei he langi, pea naʻe fakaongo atu ʻe he Toko Taha Māʻolunga ʻa hono leʻo.
15And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
15Pea naʻa ne fanaʻi atu ʻae ngaahi ngahau, mo fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ko e ʻuhila ke veuveuki kinautolu.
16And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD , at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
16Pea naʻe ha hake ʻae tokaʻanga ʻoe tahi, naʻe fakahāhā mai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani, ʻi he valokia mai ʻa Sihova, mo e ʻuʻulu mai ʻae mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
17He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
17Naʻa ne fekau mei ʻolunga, ʻo ne puke au; naʻa ne toʻo atu au mei he ngaahi vai lahi;
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18Naʻa ne fakamoʻui au mei hoku fili mālohi, pea meiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate au: he naʻa nau mālohi fau kiate au.
19They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19Naʻa nau talia au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki, ka ko Sihova ko hoku falalaʻanga.
20He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20Naʻa ne ʻomi foki au ki he potu ʻataʻatā: naʻa ne fakamoʻui au, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fiemālie ʻiate au.
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21Naʻe totongi au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni: ʻo hangē ko e maʻa ʻo hoku nima kuo pehē ʻa ʻene totongi kiate au.
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD , and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22He kuo tauhi ʻeau ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea kuo ʻikai te u mahuʻi ʻi he angakovi mei hoku ʻOtua.
23For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
23He naʻe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa ʻene ngaahi fono kotoa pē: pea ko ʻene ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu kehe mo ia.
24I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
24Naʻaku angatonu foki ʻi hono ʻao, pea kuo u taʻofi au mei heʻeku hia ʻaʻaku.
25Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
25Ko ia kuo totongi au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni: ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku maʻa ʻi hono ʻao.
26With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
26Kiate ia ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ongongofua te ke fakahā ʻe koe ʻae ʻaloʻofa, pea ki he tangata angatonu te ke fakahā koe ko e angatonu.
27With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
27Kiate ia ʻoku angamaʻa te ke fakahā koe ki ai ko e angamaʻa; pea ko ia ʻoku angamamili, te ke fangatua mo ia.
28And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
28Pea te ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai ʻoku mamahi: ka ʻoku ʻafio ʻe ho fofonga ki he kakai fielahi, koeʻuhi ke hifo ʻakinautolu ki lalo.
29For thou art my lamp, O LORD : and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
29He ko hoku maama ʻa koe, ʻE Sihova pea ʻe fakamaama ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku fakapoʻuli.
30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe kuo u motuhi ai ha vāhenga tau: pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoku ʻOtua kuo u puna atu ai ʻi ha ʻā.
31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
31Ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku haohaoa hono hala ʻoʻona: kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova: ko e ungaʻanga ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
32For who is God, save the LORD ? and who is a rock, save our God?
32He ko hai ʻoku ʻOtua ka ko Sihova pe? Pea ko hai ko e makatuʻu, ka ko hotau ʻOtua pe?
33God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
33Ko e ʻOtua ko hoku mālohi fakamoʻomoʻoni: pea ʻoku ne fakaʻataʻatā ʻa hoku ʻaluʻanga.
34He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
34ʻOku ne fakatatau ʻa hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e vaʻe ʻoe ʻanitelope; pea ʻoku ne fakaheka au ki hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35ʻOku ne akoʻi ʻa hoku nima ki he tau; ko ia ʻoku faʻa fesiua ai ha kaufana ukamea ʻi hoku nima.
36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36Kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae fekau ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui: pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo angaʻofa kuo u hoko ai ʻo lahi.
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
37Kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā ʻae ʻaluʻanga ʻi lalo ʻiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻikai hekea ai ʻa hoku vaʻe.
38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
38Kuo u tulia ʻa hoku ngaahi fili, mo fakaʻauha kinautolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe tafoki kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu.
39And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
39Pea kuo u fakaʻosiʻosi kinautolu, mo fakakafoʻi kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau faʻa tuʻu hake: ʻio, kuo nau hinga ki hoku lalo vaʻe.
40For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
40He ko koe kuo ke fakakofuʻaki au ʻoe mālohi ki he tau: ko kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu hake ke tauʻi au kuo ke fakamapelu hifo kinautolu kiate au.
41Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
41Kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae kia ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD , but he answered them not.
42Naʻa nau sio ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ke fakamoʻui; pea kia Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia kinautolu.
43Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
43Pea naʻaku toki haha fakaikiiki ʻakinautolu ke tatau mo e efu ʻoe kelekele, naʻaku malakaki kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe hala, pea u fakamovetevete atu ʻakinautolu.
44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
44Kuo ke fakahaofi foki au mei he fetauʻaki ʻa hoku kakai, kuo ke maluʻi au ke ʻulutukua kiate au ʻae hiteni: ʻe tauhi kiate au ha kakai naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
45Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
45ʻE fakamoʻulaloa kiate au ʻae fānau ʻoe kakai muli, ʻekinautolu pe: ʻoka nau ka fanongo leva, tenau talangofua kiate au.
46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
46ʻE fakaʻaʻau ke mole atu ʻae kakai muli, pea tenau manavahē mei honau toitoiʻanga.
47The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
47ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea ke monūʻia ʻa hoku makatuʻu; pea ke fakamāʻolunga hake ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe makatuʻu ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.
48It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
48Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻae totongi maʻaku, mo ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kakai kiate au,
49And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49Mo ne ʻomi au mei he lotolotonga ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: ko koe foki kuo ke hiki hake au ke u māʻolunga hake ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu hake kiate au: kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata ʻoku fai fakamālohi.
50Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD , among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
50Ko ia te u tuku ai ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe hiteni, pea te u hivaʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa.
51He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
51Ko e fale māʻolunga ia ʻoe fakamoʻui maʻa ʻene tuʻi: pea ʻoku ne fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate ia kuo ne pani ʻaki ʻae lolo , kia Tevita, pea ki hono hako, ʻo taʻengata.
