Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei lahi ho huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē! Kuo ke fokotuʻu ho nāunau ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi.
1Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David.
2Kuo ke tuʻutuʻuni mei he ngutu ʻoe kau valevale mo e kei huhu ʻae mālohi, ko e meʻa ʻi ho ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke ke pule ke fakalongo pē ʻae fili mo e fakafāsifasi.
2O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
3ʻO kau ka fakakaukau ki ho ngaahi langi, ko e ngāue ʻo ho louhiʻi nima, ko e māhina mo e ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻaia naʻa ke fokotuʻu;
3Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4Ko e hā ʻae tangata ʻoku ke tokanga ai kiate ia? Pe ko e foha ʻae tangata, ʻoku ke ʻaʻahi ai kiate ia?
4For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5He kuo ke ngaohi ia ke māʻulalo siʻi ʻi he ngaahi ʻāngelo, pea kuo ke tatāʻaki ia ʻae nāunau mo e ongoongolelei.
5What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?
6Naʻa ke fakanofo ia ke ne pule ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima; kuo ke tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe:
6Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:
7ʻAe fanga sipi kotoa pē mo e fanga pulu, ʻio, mo e ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua;
7And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
8Ko e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e ika ʻoe tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻi he tahi.
8Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
9ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei lahi ho huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē!
9The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.
