King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1LORD , I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
1ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou tangi kiate koe: ke ke haʻu vave kiate au; fakafanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻo kau ka tangi kiate koe.
2Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
2Ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ʻo hangē ko e meʻa namu kakala; mo e hiki hake ʻo hoku nima ʻo hangē ko e feilaulau ʻoe efiafi.
3Set a watch, O LORD , before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
3ʻE Sihova, fakanofo ʻae leʻo ki hoku ngutu; tauhi ʻae matapā ʻo hoku loungutu.
4Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
4ʻOua naʻa ueʻi hoku loto ki ha meʻa kovi ʻe taha, ke fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue kovi mo e kau tangata ʻoku fai kovi: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke u kai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi meʻa lelei.
5Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
5Ke taaʻi au ʻe he angatonu; pea ko e ʻofa ia: pea tuku ke ne valokiʻi au; ko e lolo lelei ia, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai foa ai hoku ʻulu: he ko ʻeku lotu foki ʻe fai ia ʻi heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
6When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
6ʻOka hinga ʻenau kau fakamaau ʻi he ngaahi potu tokatāmaki, tenau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea; he ʻoku melie ia.
7Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
7Kuo movetevete hotau ngaahi hui ʻi he ngutu ʻoe faʻitoka, ʻo hangē ko e taaʻi ʻo mafahi ʻe he taha ʻae ʻakau ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua.
8But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
8Ka ʻoku hanga hoku mata kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki: ʻoku ou falala kiate koe; ʻoua naʻa ke siʻaki hoku laumālie.
9Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
9Taʻofi au mei he ngaahi tauhele kuo nau ʻai kiate au, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakauʻu, ʻae kakai fai kovi.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
10Tuku ke tō ʻae angahala ki he ngaahi kupenga ʻanautolu, ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku hao mei ai.
