JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea naʻa ne ongoʻi au.
1A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.
2ʻE Sihova, fakahaofi hoku laumālie mei he loungutu loi, pea mei he ʻelelo kākā.
2O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3Ko e hā ʻe ʻatu kiate koe? He ko e hā ʻe fai kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻelelo kākā?
3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
4ʻAe ngaahi ngahau māsila ʻae tangata mālohi, mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi ʻoe sunipa.
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.
5ʻOku ou malaʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻāunofo ʻi Meseki, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Keta!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!
6Kuo nofo ʻo fuoloa ʻa hoku laumālie fakataha mo ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki he melino.
6My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
7ʻOku ou loto ki he melino: ka ʻi heʻeku lea ʻoku nau fie tau.
7I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
