1Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻa hoku laumālie: pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, fakafetaʻi ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
1For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
2Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie, pea ʻoua naʻa ngalo ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻaʻofa kotoa pē:
2And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
3ʻAia ʻoku ne fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi hia kotoa pē; mo ne fakamoʻui ho ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē;
3Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
4ʻAia ʻoku ne huhuʻi hoʻo moʻui mei he fakaʻauha; ʻo ne tatā ʻaki koe ʻae manavaʻofa mo e ʻaloʻofa ongongofua;
4Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.
5ʻAia ʻoku ne fakamākona ʻaki ho ngutu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei; ko ia kuo toe tupulaki ai ho talavou ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale.
5Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
6ʻOku fai ʻe Sihova ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo fakamālohia.
6The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.
7Naʻa ne fakahā hono ngaahi hala kia Mōsese, mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
7At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
8ʻOku manavaʻofa mo angalelei ʻa Sihova, ʻoku faʻa kātaki, pea mohu ʻaloʻofa.
8The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.
9ʻE ʻikai te ne valoki maʻuaipē: pea ʻe ʻikai tuputāmaki ʻo taʻengata.
9Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.
10Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ia kiate kitautolu ʻo fakatatau mo ʻetau ngaahi angahala; pe totongi kiate kitautolu ʻo fakatatau mo ʻetau ngaahi hia.
10Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
11Kae hangē ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe langi ki māmani, ʻoku pehē hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia.
11All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
12ʻOku hangē ko hono vā mamaʻo ʻoe potu hahake mei he potu lulunga, ʻoku pehē hono mamaʻo ʻo ʻene ʻave ʻetau ngaahi angahala ʻiate kitautolu.
12Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
13Pea hangē ʻoku manavaʻofa ʻae tamai ki heʻene fānau, ʻoku pehē ʻae manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia.
13Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
14He ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hotau anga; ʻoku ne manatu ko e efu pe ʻakitautolu.
14Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:
15Pea ko e tangata, ʻoku tatau hono ngaahi ʻaho mo e mohuku: pea hangē ko e fisiʻi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue hono lau maʻuiʻui.
15And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
16He ʻoku ʻalu atu ki ai ʻae matangi, pea kuo ʻikai ia; pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi toe ʻilo ia ʻi hono potu.
16The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:
17Ka ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻoku talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia, pea ko ʻene māʻoniʻoni ki he fānau ʻae fānau;
17There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.
18Kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tauhi ʻene fuakava, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku nau manatu ki heʻene ngaahi fekau ke fai ki ai.
18The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
19Kuo teuteu ʻe Sihova hono ʻafioʻanga ʻi he ngaahi langi; pea ʻoku pule hono puleʻanga ki he meʻa kotoa pē.
19He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kau ʻāngelo, ʻoku lahi homou mālohi, pea ʻoku mou fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo fakafanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene folofola.
20Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
21Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ko ʻene ngaahi kautau; ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kau faifekau, ʻoku mou fai ki hono finangalo.
21The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.
22Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo hono puleʻanga: fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie.
22The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.
