Berean Standard Bible
1Te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; he kuo ke hiki hake au, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kiate au.
1I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
2ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, naʻaku tangi kiate koe, pea kuo ke fakamoʻui au.
2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
3ʻE Sihova, kuo ke ʻohake hoku laumālie mei hētesi: kuo ke fakatolonga ʻeku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.
4Hiva kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻi he manatu ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
5He ʻoku hangē ko e kemo ʻoe mata hono houhau; ʻoku ai ʻae moʻui ʻi heʻene ʻofa: kapau ʻe ai ha tangi ʻi he pō, ʻe hoko ʻae fiefia ʻi he pongipongi.
5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6Pea ʻi heʻeku monūʻia naʻaku pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u ngaueue ʻo lauikuonga.”
6In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻae mālohi ki hoku moʻunga: naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga, pea ne u mamahi ai.
7O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ne u fai ʻeku kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova.
8To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
9“Ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻo hoku toto, ʻo kau ka ʻalu hifo ki he luo? ʻE fakafetaʻi ʻae efu kiate koe? ʻe fakahā ʻe ia hoʻo moʻoni?
9“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
10Fanongo mai, ʻE Sihova, pea ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au: ʻE Sihova, ke ke hoko ko e tokoni kiate au.”
10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
11Kuo ke liliu kiate au ʻeku tangi ko e meʻe hopohopo: kuo ke vete hoku tauangaʻa, pea fakavala ʻaki au ʻae fiefia;
11You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12Koeʻuhi ke hiva ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻelelo ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa longo pē. ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, te u ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻo taʻengata.
12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
