JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ʻOku ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau mālohi; ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua.
1A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:
2“ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakamaau taʻetotonu, pea filifilimānako ki he kakai angahala?” Sila.
2'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
3“Fakamaau ʻae paea mo e tamai mate: fai angatonu ki he mamahi mo e masiva.
3Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4Fakahaofi ʻae masiva mo e paea: fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.”
4Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5ʻOku ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo; ʻoku nau ʻalu pē ʻi he poʻuli: kuo ueʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
5They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.
6Naʻaku pehē, “Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu; pea ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.
6I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
7Ka temou mate ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata, pea tō ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoe houʻeiki.”
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
8Tuʻu hake, ʻE ʻOtua, fakamaau ʻa māmani: he te ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
