JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo; ne u kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo.
1(142-1) Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. (142-2) With my voice I cry unto the LORD; with my voice I make supplication unto the LORD.
2Naʻaku lilingi ʻeku fakakaukau ʻi hono ʻao; ne u fakahā ʻi hono ʻao ʻeku mamahi.
2(142-3) I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;
3ʻI he taʻomia ʻa hoku laumālie, ne ke ʻilo ai hoku ʻaluʻanga. ʻI he hala ne u ʻeveʻeva ai kuo nau ʻai fufū ʻae tauhele kiate au.
3(142-4) When my spirit fainteth within me — Thou knowest my path — in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.
4Ne u sio, mo vakai ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne ʻiloʻi au: naʻe ʻikai haʻaku hūfanga; naʻe ʻikai tokanga ha tangata ki hoku laumālie.
4(142-5) Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; no man careth for my soul.
5Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ne u pehē, Ko koe ko hoku hūfanga, mo hoku ʻinasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
5(142-6) I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'
6Ke ke tokanga ki heʻeku tangi; he ʻoku ou vaivai ʻaupito: fakamoʻui au mei hoku kau fakatanga; he ʻoku nau mālohi hake kiate au.
6(142-7) Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.
7ʻOmi hoku laumālie mei he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ke u fakamālō ai ki ho huafa: ʻe kāpui au ʻe he angatonu; he te ke fai lelei lahi kiate au.
7(142-8) Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
