JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ʻOku pule ʻa Sihova; tuku ke fiefia ʻa māmani; pea nekeneka ʻae ngaahi ʻotu motu.
1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
2ʻOku takatakai ia ʻe he ngaahi ʻao mo e fakapoʻuli: ko e angatonu mo e fakamaau ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga.
2Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻae afi ʻiate ia, pea vela ke ʻosi hono ngaahi fili ʻoku takatakai.
3A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about.
4Naʻe fakamaama ʻaki ʻa māmani ʻa hono ngaahi ʻuhila: naʻe mamata ʻae fonua, pea tetetete.
4His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
5Naʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻo hangē ko e pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ngaahi langi ʻene māʻoniʻoni, pea mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki hono nāunau.
6The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory.
7Ke puputuʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau tauhi ʻae ngaahi fakatātā kuo tā, mo nau polepole ʻi he ngaahi tamapua: lotu kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi ʻotua.
7Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to Him, all ye gods.
8Naʻe fanongo ʻa Saione, pea fiefia ai pea naʻe fiefia ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siuta, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, ʻE Sihova.
8Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of Thy judgments, O LORD.
9He ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke māʻolunga hake ki māmani kotoa pē: ʻoku ke māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
9For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku ʻofa kia Sihova, mou fehiʻa ki he kovi: ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni; ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.
10O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Kuo tūtuuʻi ʻae maama maʻae māʻoniʻoni, mo e fiefia maʻae angatonu ʻi loto.
11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12Mou fiefia ʻia Sihova ʻae kau angatonu; pea fakafetaʻi ʻi he manatu ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
12Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.
