World English Bible
1Ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻE ʻOtua: he ʻoku fie folo hifo au ʻe he tangata; ʻoku ne tauʻi au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa, ʻo ne taʻomia au.
1Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2Ko e loto ʻo hoku ngaahi fili ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke folo hifo au: he ʻoku tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauʻi au, ʻE Fungani Māʻolunga.
2My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
3ʻI he ʻaho ʻoku ou manavahē ai, te u falala kiate koe.
3When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
4Te u fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi heʻene folofola; ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki he meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he kakai kiate au.
4In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5ʻOku nau fakakehe ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: ko ʻenau fakakaukau kotoa pē ke u kovi ai au.
5All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6ʻOku nau fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau fakafufū ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau vakai hoku ʻaluʻanga, ʻi heʻenau holi ki heʻeku moʻui.
6They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.
7Te nau hao koā ʻi heʻenau hia? ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke lī ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻi he houhau.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
8ʻOku ke lau ʻa ʻeku ʻalu fano pē: ke ke ʻutu hoku ngaahi loʻimata ki hoʻo hina: ʻikai ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻi hoʻo tohi?
8You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?
9ʻO kau ka tangi kiate koe, ʻe foki kimui ai ʻa hoku ngaahi fili: ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni; he ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae ʻOtua.
9Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.
10Te u fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi heʻene folofola: te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi heʻene folofola.
10In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.
11Kuo u falala ki he ʻOtua: ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki ha meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he tangata kiate au.
11I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi fuakava: te u ʻatu ʻae fakamālō kiate koe,
12Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
13He kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he mate: pea ʻikai te ke fakahaofi hoku vaʻe mei he hinga, koeʻuhi ke u ʻeveʻeva ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he maama ʻoe kakai moʻui?
13For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
