King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
1ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, naʻaku tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi ho ʻao:
2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
2Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku tangi;
3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
3He ʻoku fonu hoku laumālie ʻi he mamahi: pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻeku moʻui ki he faʻitoka.
4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
4ʻOku lau fakataha au mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: ʻoku ou hangē ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai hano mālohi:
5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
5ʻO tauʻatāina mo e kakai mate, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kuo tāmateʻi ʻoku tokoto ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai te ke kei manatuʻi: pea kuo motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻe ho nima.
6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
6Kuo ke tuku au ʻi he luo taumamaʻo, ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻi he ngaahi loloto.
7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
7ʻOku tataʻo mamafa ho houhau ʻiate au, pea kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi peau kotoa pē. Sila.
8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
8Kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa; kuo ke ngaohi au ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate kinautolu: kuo ʻākilotoa au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu atu.
9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD , I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
9ʻOku vaivai hoku mata ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ui kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe.
10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
10Te ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ki he mate? ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae mate ʻo fakafetaʻi kiate koe? Sila.
11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
11ʻE fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he faʻitoka? Pe ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he fakaʻauha?
12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
12ʻE ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he poʻuli? Mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻoe fakangalo?
13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD ; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
13Ka naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻi he pongipongi ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu.
14LORD , why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
14ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai ʻa hoku laumālie? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fufū ai ho fofonga ʻiate au?
15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
15ʻOku ou mamahi, pea meimei mate talu ʻeku kei talavou: ʻi heʻeku kātaki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻoku ou feinga ai ʻaupito.
16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
16Kuo lōfia au ʻe ho houhau lahi; kuo motuhi au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakailifia.
17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
17Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e vai; naʻa nau fakataha ʻo takatakai au.
18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
18Ko e kaumeʻaʻofa mo e kāinga kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu ʻiate au, mo hoku kaumeʻa ki he poʻuli.
