1Te u ʻofa kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ko ʻeku mālohi.
1I love You, O LORD, my strength.
2Ko hoku makatuʻu ʻa Sihova, mo ʻeku kolo, mo hoku fakamoʻui; ko hoku ʻOtua, ko hoku mālohi, ʻaia te u falala ki ai; ko hoku fakaū, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui, mo hoku hūfanga māʻolunga.
2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3Te u ui kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ngali mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi: ko ia te u moʻui ai mei hoku ngaahi fili.
3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate. pea naʻe fakamanavahēʻi au ʻe he lōmaki mai ʻoe kau tangata angakovi.
4The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
5Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻo hētesi: naʻe talia au ʻe he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate.
5The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
6ʻI heʻeku mamahi naʻaku ui kia Sihova, mo tangi ki hoku ʻOtua: pea ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo mei hono faletapu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻeku tangi ki hono ʻao, ʻio, ki hono fofonga.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.
7Naʻe ngalulu ai ʻa māmani ʻo tetetete; naʻe ngaue mo lulululu foki ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, koeʻuhi ko ʻene houhau.
7Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
8Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu ʻi hono houhau, pea naʻe keina ʻe he afi mei hono ngutu: naʻe tutuʻaki ia ʻae fefie.
8Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
9Naʻa ne ofeʻi hifo foki ʻae ngaahi langi, ʻo hāʻele hifo: pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae poʻuli.
9He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
10Naʻe heka ia ki he selupi, pea hāʻele ia: ʻio, naʻe hāʻele ia ʻi he ngaahi kapakau ʻoe matangi.
10He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
11Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae poʻuli ko hono fakalilolilo: ko hono ʻafioʻanga naʻe kāpui ia ʻe he vai fakapoʻuli mo e ngaahi ʻao matolu ʻoe langi.
11He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.
12ʻI he ulo mei hono ʻao naʻe mole atu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻao matolu, ʻae ʻuha maka mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi.
12From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced— hailstones and coals of fire.
13Naʻe mana foki ʻe Sihova ʻi he ngaahi langi, pea fakahā hono leʻo ʻe he Fungani Māʻolunga; ko e ʻuha maka mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi.
13The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded— hailstones and coals of fire.
14ʻIo, naʻa ne fana atu ʻene ngaahi ngahau, pea veteki ʻakinautolu; pea ne fana ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila, ʻo veuveuki ʻakinautolu.
14He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
15Naʻe toki hā ai ʻae ngaahi tafeʻanga ʻoe vai, pea fakahā ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani ʻi ho houhau, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he matangi ʻoe mānava ʻo ho houhau.
15The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16Naʻa ne fekau mei ʻolunga, naʻa ne toʻo au, naʻa ne toʻo hake au mei he ngaahi vai lahi.
16He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
17Naʻa ne fakahaofi au mei hoku fili
17He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
18Naʻa nau fakatangaʻi au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki: ka ko hoku tokoni ʻa Sihova.
18They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
19Naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he potu ʻataʻatā lahi; naʻa ne fakahaofi au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fiemālie ʻiate au.
19He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
20Naʻe totongi ʻe Sihova kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni; ʻo fakatatau ki he maʻa ʻa hoku nima kuo ne totongi kiate au.
20The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
21He naʻaku tauhi ʻae ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻi he angakovi mei hoku ʻOtua.
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22He naʻe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakamaau kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻene ngaahi fekau ʻiate au.
22For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
23Pea naʻaku angatonu foki ʻi hono ʻao, pea ne u taʻofi au mei heʻeku hia.
23And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
24Ko ia kuo totongi ai au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pea fakatatau ki he maʻa ʻa hoku nima ʻi hono ʻao.
24So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25ʻI he kakai loto ʻofa te ke fakahā koe ko e ʻaloʻofa; ki he tangata angatonu te ke fakahā koe ko e angatonu;
25To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
26Ki he māʻoniʻoni te ke fakahā koe ʻae māʻoniʻoni; pea ki he tangata angatuʻu temo fekuki mo ia.
26to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
27He ko koe te ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai mamahi: ka te ke ʻohifo ki lalo ʻae mata fielahi.
27For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
28Pea te ke tutu ʻeku maama: ʻo huluʻaki ʻeku fakapoʻuli ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.
28For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
29He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe naʻaku halaua ʻae tau ʻo hao; pea ʻi hoku ʻOtua ne u puna kituʻa ʻi he ʻā maka.
29For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
30Pea ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku haohaoa hono hala: ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova: ko e fakaū ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
30As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31He ko hai ʻoku ʻOtua ka ko Sihova pē? Pe ko hai ʻae makatuʻu ka ko hotau ʻOtua pē?
31For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
32Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne nonoʻo ʻaki au ʻae mālohi, ʻo fakahaohaoa hoku ʻaluʻanga.
32It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
33ʻOku ne ngaohi hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e vaʻe ʻoe hainiti, ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
33He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
34ʻOku ne akonakiʻi hoku nima ke tau, ko ia ʻoku fesiʻi ai ʻe hoku nima ʻae kaufana ukamea.
34He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35Pea kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae fakaū ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui: pea kuo poupou hake au ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi hoʻo angamalū kuo ke hakeakiʻi au.
35You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
36Kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā hoku ʻaluʻanga ʻi lalo ʻiate au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai hekea ai hoku vaʻe.
36You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
37Naʻaku tuli hoku ngaahi fili ʻo maʻu ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe foki kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻakinautolu.
37I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
38Kuo nau makafokafo ʻiate au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau faʻa tuʻu hake: kuo nau tō ki hoku lalo vaʻe.
38I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
39He naʻa ke nonoʻo ʻaki au ʻae mālohi ki he tau: kuo ke fakavaivai ki lalo ʻiate au ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻu hake kiate au.
39You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
40Pea kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae kia ʻo hoku ngaahi fili; koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
40You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
41Naʻa nau tangi, ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke fakamoʻui: ʻio, kia Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia ʻakinautolu.
41They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
42Pea ne u toki tali ʻakinautolu ʻo momosi ʻo hangē ko e efu ʻoku vilingia ʻi he matangi: naʻaku lī ʻakinautolu kituʻa ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻi he ngaahi hala.
42I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
43Kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he ngaahi fekeʻikeʻi ʻoe kakai; pea kuo ke ngaohi au ko e ʻulu ki he hiteni: ko e kakai naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi te nau tauhi au.
43You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
44ʻOka nau ka fanongo kiate au, te nau talangofua leva kiate au: ko e kau muli te nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu kiate au.
44When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.
45ʻE fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi muli, pea te nau manavahē mei honau ngaahi potu lilo.
45Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
46ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea fakafetaʻi ki hoku makatuʻu; pea tuku ke hakeakiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
46The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
47Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku langomia au, ʻo ne fakavaivai ʻae kakai kiate au.
47the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
48ʻOku ne fakamoʻui au mei hoku ngaahi fili: ʻio, ʻoku ke hiki au ke u māʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu kiate au: kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata angamālohi.
48who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
49Ko ia te u fakafetaʻi ai kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, pea te u hivaʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa.
49Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
50ʻOku ne tuku ʻae fakamoʻui lahi ki heʻene tuʻi; ʻo ne fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate ia kuo ne pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, kia Tevita, mo hono hako ʻo taʻengata.
50Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
