JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu; kuo ke veteki ʻakimautolu; naʻa ke houhau; ke ke toe tafoki mai kiate kimautolu.
1(60-1) For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; (60-2) when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. (60-3) O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
2Kuo ke lulu ʻae fonua ke tetetete; kuo mafahifahi ia: ke ke fakalelei hono ngaahi maumau; he ʻoku ngalulu ia.
2(60-4) Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
3Kuo ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa faingataʻa ki hoʻo kakai; kuo ke fakainu ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻae uaine fakaofo.
3(60-5) Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
4Kuo ke foaki ʻae fuka kiate kinautolu naʻe manavahē kiate koe, ke fakahā ia koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni. Sila.
4(60-6) Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
5Koeʻuhi ke hao ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai; ke ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo fanongo kiate au.
5(60-7) That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
6Kuo folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni; “Te u fiefia, te u vaeua ʻa Sikemi, ʻo fuofua ʻae luo ʻo Sukote.
6(60-8) God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻa Kiliati, pea ʻoʻoku mo Manase; ko e mālohi foki ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko ʻeku fai fono ʻa Siuta;
7(60-9) Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
8Ko ʻeku ipu kaukauʻanga ʻa Moape; te u lī hoku topuvaʻe ki ʻolunga ki ʻItomi: Filisitia, ke ke vikiviki koe koeʻuhi ko au.”
8(60-10) Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
9Ko hai te ne ʻomi au ki he kolo mālohi? Ko hai te ne aʻutaki au ki ʻItomi?
9(60-11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
10ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ia, ʻa koe kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu? ʻA koe, ʻE ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu mo ʻemau ngaahi kautau?
10(60-12) Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
11Ke ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tokoni mei he mamahi: he ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae tokoni ʻae tangata.
11(60-13) Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
12Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻOtua te tau fai mālohi ai: he ko ia ia te ne malaki hifo hotau ngaahi fili.
12(60-14) Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
