Psalms 63
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
1ʻE ʻOtua, ko hoku ʻOtua koe; te u kumi vave kiate koe: ʻoku fieinu hoku laumālie kiate koe, ʻoku holi hoku kakano kiate koe ʻi he fonua mōmoa mo fieinua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai;
2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
2Ke mamata ki hoʻo māfimafi mo ho nāunau, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku mamata ai kiate koe ʻi he faletapu.
3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
3ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he moʻui, ko ia ʻe fakafetaʻi ai ʻa hoku loungutu kiate koe.
4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
4Ko ia ʻe pehē pe ʻeku fakafetaʻi kiate koe lolotonga ʻeku moʻui: te u hiki hake hoku nima ʻi ho huafa.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
5ʻE mākona lelei hoku laumālie ʻo hangē ko e meʻa ʻi he ngako mo e meʻa momona; pea ʻe fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻa hoku ngutu ʻi he loungutu fiefia.
6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
6ʻI heʻeku manatu kiate koe ʻi hoku mohenga, ʻo fakalaulauloto kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi lakanga leʻo ʻi he poʻuli.
7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
7Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo faʻa tokoni au, ko ia te u fiefia ai ʻi he malu ʻo ho kapakau.
8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
8ʻOku pikitai maʻu pē hoku laumālie kiate koe: ʻoku poupou au ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu.
9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it , shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
9Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku kumi hoku laumālie ke fakaʻauha ia, tenau ʻalu hifo ki he ngaahi potu ʻi lalo ʻi he fonua.
10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
10Tenau tō ʻi he heletā: tenau hoko ko e ʻinasi ʻoe fanga fokisi.
11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
11Ka ʻe fiefia ʻae tuʻi ʻi he ʻOtua; ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fuakava ʻiate ia ʻe fiefia ia; ka ʻe tāpuni ʻae ngutu ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku lea loi.
