1Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
1For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21]
2Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
2I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
3Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
4He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
4O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
5ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
6Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
6Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
7ʻOku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae vai ʻoe tahi ʻo hangē ko e tafungofunga: ʻoku ne faʻoaki ʻae moana ʻi he ngaahi feleoko.
7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.
8Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
9He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
9O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
10ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
10Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
11Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
11The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
12ʻOku monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ko ia ʻoku ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova; pea mo e kakai kuo ne fili ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
12Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
13ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
13Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
14Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
14Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
15ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
15Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
16ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
16The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
17Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
17But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
18Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
18The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
19Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
19The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
20ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
20Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
21Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
21The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
22ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
22The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
