Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.
2ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, naʻaku tangi kiate koe, pea kuo ke fakamoʻui au.
2In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
3ʻE Sihova, kuo ke ʻohake hoku laumālie mei hētesi: kuo ke fakatolonga ʻeku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
3Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
4Hiva kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻi he manatu ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
4For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
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.
5Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
6Pea ʻi heʻeku monūʻia naʻaku pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u ngaueue ʻo lauikuonga.”
6Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
7ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻae mālohi ki hoku moʻunga: naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga, pea ne u mamahi ai.
7Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
8Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ne u fai ʻeku kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova.
8I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
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?
9And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
10Fanongo mai, ʻE Sihova, pea ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au: ʻE Sihova, ke ke hoko ko e tokoni kiate au.”
10Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
11Kuo ke liliu kiate au ʻeku tangi ko e meʻe hopohopo: kuo ke vete hoku tauangaʻa, pea fakavala ʻaki au ʻae fiefia;
11For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
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.
12I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
