King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻOku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku lelei ke fakamālō lahi kiate ia, ʻi he kolo ʻa hotau ʻOtua, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻene māʻoniʻoni.
1Great is the LORD , and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2Ko e tuʻunga matamatalelei ʻae moʻunga ko Saione, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻi hono potu tokelau ʻae kolo ʻoe Tuʻi lahi.
2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3ʻOku ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ko e hūfanga ʻi hono ngaahi fale lahi ʻo ia.
3God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4Pea vakai, naʻe fakataha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, naʻa nau ʻalu atu fakataha.
4For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5Naʻa nau mamata ai, pea nau ofo; naʻa nau mamahi, pea hola.
5They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6Naʻe tuia ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻi he manavahē, mo e mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā.
6Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7ʻOku ke maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻo Tasisi ʻaki ʻae matangi hahake.
7Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8Hangē ko ia naʻa mau fanongo, kuo pehē ʻemau mamata ʻi he kolo ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻi he kolo ʻa hotau ʻOtua: ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata. Sila.
8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9Kuo mau manatu ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi ho loto faletapu.
9We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10ʻO hangē ko ho huafa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku pehē ho ongoongolelei ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; ʻoku pito ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
10According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11Tuku ke fiefia ʻae moʻunga ko Saione, tuku ke nekeneka ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siuta, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
11Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12Mou ʻeveʻeva takatakai ʻi Saione, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻiate ia: lau hono ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻo ia.
12Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13Mou vakai lelei ki hono ngaahi puke, tokanga ki hono ngaahi fale lahi; koeʻuhi ke mou tala ia ki he toʻutangata ʻe hoko.
13Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14“He ko e ʻOtua ni ko hotau ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata: te ne tauhi ʻakitautolu ʻo aʻu ki he mate.”
14For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
