World English Bible
1ʻAe tangata mālohi, ko e hā ʻoku ke polepole ai koe ʻi he fai pauʻu? ʻoku tolonga maʻuaipē ʻae ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
1Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
2ʻOku langaʻi ʻe ho ʻelelo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi; ʻo ne fai kākā, ʻo hangē ko e tele māsila.
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3ʻOku ke ʻofa lahi ki he kovi ʻi he lelei; pea ki he loi ʻi he lea māʻoniʻoni. Sila.
3You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4ʻAe ʻelelo kākā, ʻoku ke manako ki he ngaahi lea fakaʻauha.
4You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5Pea ʻe fakaʻauha foki koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata, te ne toʻo ʻo ʻave koe, pea taʻaki koe mei ho nofoʻanga, ʻo taʻaki fuʻu hake koe mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui. Sila.
5God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6ʻE mamata foki ki ai ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea manavahē, pea nau kata manuki kiate ia:
6The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7“Vakai, ko eni ʻae tangata naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻae mālohi mei he ʻOtua; ka naʻe falala ki he lahi ʻo ʻene koloa, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻi heʻene kovi.”
7“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
8Ka ʻoku ou tatau mo e ʻolive laumaʻuiʻui ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
9Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ia ʻe koe: pea te u tatali ki ho huafa; he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
