King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Deliver me, O LORD , from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
1ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au mei he tangata angakovi: fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi;
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
2ʻAia ʻoku mahalo kovi ʻi honau loto; ʻoku nau fakataha maʻuaipē ke tau.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
3Kuo nau fakamāsila honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e ngata; ʻoku ʻai ʻae kona ʻoe ngata ʻi honau lalo loungutu. Sila.
4Keep me, O LORD , from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
4Fakahaofi au, ʻE Sihova, mei he nima ʻoe angahala; fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi, ʻaia kuo ne fakakaukau ke tulaki hifo hoku vaʻe.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
5Kuo tau fufū ʻe he laukau ʻae tauhele kiate au, mo e ngaahi afo; kuo nau ʻaʻau ʻae kupenga ʻi he veʻe hala; kuo nau teuteu ʻae ngaahi hele kiate au. Sila.
6I said unto the LORD , Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD .
6Naʻaku pehē kia Sihova, “Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua:” ʻE Sihova, ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
7ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki, ko e mālohi ʻo ʻeku fakamoʻui, kuo ke maluʻi hoku ʻulu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau.
8Grant not, O LORD , the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
8ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fai ki he ngaahi holi ʻae angahala: ʻoua naʻa ke tokoni ʻene fakakaukau kovi, telia naʻa nau hiki hake ʻakinautolu. Sila.
9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
9Ka ko e ʻulu ʻokinautolu ʻoku nau kāpui au, tuku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kovi ʻo honau loungutu.
10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
10Ke tō kiate kinautolu ʻae malalaʻi afi ʻoku vela: tuku ke lī ʻakinautolu ki he afi; ki he ngaahi luo tau mamaʻo, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau toetuʻu hake.
11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him .
11ʻOua naʻa tuku ha tangata lea kovi ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi māmani: ʻe tuli ʻe he kovi ʻae tangata fakamālohi ke tulaki ia.
12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
12ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ʻae mamahi, mo e ʻinasi totonu ʻoe masiva.
13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
13Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ki ho huafa: ʻe nofo ʻae angatonu ʻi ho ʻao.
