1ʻE Sihova, kuo tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakamamahiʻi au! ʻOku tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate au.
1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
2ʻOku tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻaia ʻoku pehē ki hoku laumālie, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tokoni kiate ia ʻi he ʻOtua.” Sila.
2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
3Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ko e fakaū kiate au; ko hoku nāunau, mo e hiki hake ʻa hoku ʻulu.
3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo, pea naʻa ne ongoʻi au mei hono moʻunga māʻoniʻoni. Sila.
4But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
5Ne u tokoto hifo ʻo mohe; pea u ʻā hake; he ko Sihova naʻa ne tokoniʻi au.
5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6ʻE ʻikai te u manavahē ʻi he ngaahi toko mano ʻoe kakai, ʻaia ʻoku angatuʻu ʻo kāpui au.
6I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova; fakamoʻui au, ʻE hoku ʻOtua: he kuo ke taaʻi hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻi honau hui kouʻahe kuo ke fesiʻi ʻae kau nifo ʻoe angakovi.
7I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8ʻOku ʻia Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui: ko hoʻo tāpuaki ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kakai. Sila.
8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
