Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Kuo pehē ʻe he vale ʻi hono loto, “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua.” Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo nau fai ʻae kovi fakalielia: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei.
1Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.
2Naʻe ʻafio hifo ʻae ʻOtua mei he langi ki he fānau ʻae tangata, ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha niʻihi ʻoku ʻilo, mo kumi ki he ʻOtua.
2When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?
3Kuo foki kotoa pē kimui ʻakinautolu: kuo nau hoko ʻo fakalielia kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha.
3Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
4“ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi? ʻAkinautolu ʻoku kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kai mā: naʻe ʻikai te nau ui ki he ʻOtua.”
4O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
5Pea naʻe manavahē lahi ai ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ke manavahē ai: he kuo laku kehekehe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo ia naʻa ne tauʻi koe: Kuo ke fakamaaʻi ʻakinautolu, he kuo fehiʻa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.
5For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
6Ko hai te ne foaki mei Saione ʻae fakamoʻui ki ʻIsileli? ʻOka toe ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai kuo pōpula, ʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sēkope, pea nekeneka ʻa ʻIsileli.
6For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
