Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Naʻa ku pehē, “Te u vakai ki hoku ngaahi hala, telia naʻaku angahala ʻi hoku ʻelelo: te u ʻai ʻae noʻo ki hoku ngutu, ʻi he kei ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae angakovi.”
1Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
2Naʻaku noa, ʻi he fakalongo pē, naʻaku taʻofi au mei he lea, ʻio, mei he lelei; pea naʻe tupu ai ʻeku mamahi.
2With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
3Naʻe vela hoku loto ʻiate au, pea lolotonga ʻeku fifili naʻe vela ʻae afi: pea u toki lea ʻaki hoku ʻelelo,
3And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
4“ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakaʻilo kiate au hoku ngataʻanga, mo hono fuofua ʻo hoku ngaahi ʻaho, pe ko e hā ia; koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ki hono lahi ʻo ʻeku vaivai.”
4And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
5Vakai, kuo ke ngaohi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ke tatau mo e ʻaofinima pe taha; pea ko ʻeku moʻui ʻoku hangē ko e meʻa noa pē ʻi ho ʻao: ko e moʻoni ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu ko e mātuʻaki vaʻinga ia. Sila.
5Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
6Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻalu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻata loi: ko e moʻoni kuo nau mamahi taʻeʻaonga: ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae koloa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko hai te ne maʻu ia.
6Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
7Pea ko eni, “ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ou tatali ai? ʻOku ʻiate koe pē ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei.
7Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
8Fakamoʻui au mei heʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa ke ngaohi au ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe vale.”
8Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
9Naʻaku noa, naʻe ʻikai te u mafaʻa hoku ngutu; koeʻuhi ko koe naʻa ke fai ia.
9That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
10Toʻo atu hoʻo tā ʻiate au: kuo u ʻauha ʻi he tā ʻaho nima.
10I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
11ʻOka ke ka tautea ʻae tangata ʻaki ʻae tākitala ʻi heʻene hia, ʻoku ke pule ke mole atu hono lelei ʻo hangē ko e ane: ko e moʻoni ko e vaʻinga ʻae tangata kotoa pē. Sila.
11I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
12Fanongo mai ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE Sihova, mo ke fakafanongo ki heʻeku tangi; ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē ʻi hoku ngaahi loʻimata: he ko e muli au ʻi ho ʻao, mo e ʻāunofo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ngaahi tamai kotoa pē.
12Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
13Tuku siʻi ai pe au, koeʻuhi ke u toe maʻu ʻeku mālohi, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u ʻalu ʻi heni, pea te u ʻikai leva.
13For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
