King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Hear my prayer, O LORD , give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
1ʻE Sihova, fanongo ki heʻeku lotu, fakafanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu: pea ʻi hoʻo moʻoni mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, ke ke talia au.
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
2Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaauʻi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tonuhia ʻi ho ʻao ha tangata moʻui ʻe tokotaha.
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
3He kuo fakatanga hoku laumālie ʻe he fili; kuo ne taaʻi hifo ʻeku moʻui ki he kelekele; kuo ne pule ke u nofo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu kuo fuoloa ʻenau mate.
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
4Ko ia kuo taʻomia ai ʻa hoku laumālie; kuo lala hoku loto ʻiate au.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
5ʻOku ou manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa; ʻoku ou fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē; ʻoku ou fifili ki he ngāue ʻa ho nima.
6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
6ʻOku ou mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe: ʻoku holi ʻa hoku laumālie kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko e fonua fieinua. Sila.
7Hear me speedily, O LORD : my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
7ʻE Sihova, ʻafio vave kiate au: kuo vaivai ʻa hoku laumālie: ʻoua naʻa fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au, telia naʻaku tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
8Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
8Ke ke fakatokangaʻi au ke u fanongo ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he pongipongi; he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe: fakaʻilo mai kiate au ʻae hala ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke u ʻalu ai; he ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
9Deliver me, O LORD , from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
9Fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, mei hoku ngaahi fili: ʻoku ou hola kiate koe ke fakafufū au,
10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
10Akonakiʻi au ke u fai ki ho finangalo; he ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua; tuku ke tataki au ʻe ho Laumālie lelei, ki he fonua ʻoe angatonu.
11Quicken me, O LORD , for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
11ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko ho huafa: koeʻuhi ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ke ke ʻomi hoku laumālie mei he mamahi.
12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
12Pea ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ke ke motuhi hoku ngaahi fili, mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau fakamamahi ki hoku laumālie: he ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au.
