JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ʻE Sihova, fanongo ki heʻeku lotu, fakafanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu: pea ʻi hoʻo moʻoni mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, ke ke talia au.
1A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
2Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaauʻi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tonuhia ʻi ho ʻao ha tangata moʻui ʻe tokotaha.
2And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3He kuo fakatanga hoku laumālie ʻe he fili; kuo ne taaʻi hifo ʻeku moʻui ki he kelekele; kuo ne pule ke u nofo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu kuo fuoloa ʻenau mate.
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4Ko ia kuo taʻomia ai ʻa hoku laumālie; kuo lala hoku loto ʻiate au.
4And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
5ʻOku ou manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa; ʻoku ou fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē; ʻoku ou fifili ki he ngāue ʻa ho nima.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
6ʻOku ou mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe: ʻoku holi ʻa hoku laumālie kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko e fonua fieinua. Sila.
6I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. Selah
7ʻE Sihova, ʻafio vave kiate au: kuo vaivai ʻa hoku laumālie: ʻoua naʻa fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au, telia naʻaku tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
7Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
8Ke ke fakatokangaʻi au ke u fanongo ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he pongipongi; he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe: fakaʻilo mai kiate au ʻae hala ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke u ʻalu ai; he ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
8Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
9Fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, mei hoku ngaahi fili: ʻoku ou hola kiate koe ke fakafufū au,
9Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
10Akonakiʻi au ke u fai ki ho finangalo; he ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua; tuku ke tataki au ʻe ho Laumālie lelei, ki he fonua ʻoe angatonu.
10Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
11ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko ho huafa: koeʻuhi ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ke ke ʻomi hoku laumālie mei he mamahi.
11For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12Pea ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ke ke motuhi hoku ngaahi fili, mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau fakamamahi ki hoku laumālie: he ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au.
12And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
