Berean Standard Bible
1ʻOku ou falala kia Sihova: pea ʻoku fēfē hoʻomou pehē ki hoku laumālie, “Puna ʻo hangē ko e manu ki ho moʻunga?
1In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain!
2He ʻoku teke ʻe he angahala ʻenau kaufana, ʻoku nau ʻai ʻenau ngaahi ngahau ki he uka, koeʻuhi ke nau fana fakafufū pē ki he angatonu ʻi loto.
2For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3Kapau ʻe ʻauha ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga, ko e hā ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni?”
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4ʻOku ʻi hono fale māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻafioʻanga ʻa Sihova ʻoku ʻi he langi: ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe hono fofonga, ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe hono lauʻifofonga, ʻae ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata.
4The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.
5ʻOku ʻahiʻahi ʻe Sihova ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e angakovi mo ia ʻoku manako ki he fakamālohi ʻoku fehiʻa hono laumālie ki ai.
5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.
6Te ne fakaʻauha ki he ngaahi angahala ʻae ngaahi tauhele, ko e afi, mo e sulifa, mo e afā fakailifia ʻaupito: ko e ʻinasi ia ʻo ʻenau ipu.
6On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.
7He ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ko e māʻoniʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoni; ʻoku ʻafio ʻe hono fofonga ki he angatonu.
7For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.
