World English Bible
1Te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻaki hoku loto kotoa; te u fakahā atu hoʻo ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.
1I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2Te u fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe: te u hiva fakamālō ki ho huafa, ʻa koe ʻoku ke māʻolunga lahi taha pe.
2I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3Pea ka foki kimui hoku ngaahi fili, te nau hinga ʻo ʻauha ʻi ho fofonga.
3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4He naʻa ke langomia ʻeku totonu mo ʻeku ngāue; naʻa ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻa, ʻo fakamaau ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
4For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5Kuo ke valoki ʻae hiteni, kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻae angakovi, kuo ke tāmateʻi honau hingoa ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.
5You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6Kuo hoko ke ngata ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi fakaʻauha ʻoe fili: pea ko honau ngaahi kolo kuo ke fakaʻauha; kuo ʻauha mo kinautolu honau fakamanatu.
6The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7Ka ʻe moʻui maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova: kuo ne teuʻi hono ʻafioʻanga ki he fakamaau.
7But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8Pea te ne fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae fakamaau ki he kakai ʻi he angatonu.
8He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9Pea ko e hūfanga foki ʻa Sihova ki he mamahi, ko e kalofanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi.
9The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
10Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻilo ki ho huafa te nau falala kiate koe: he ko koe, ʻE Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te ke siʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate koe.
10Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11Hiva fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi Saione: fakahā ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
12ʻOka ne ka ʻeke ki he toto, ʻoku ne manatuʻi ʻakinautolu: ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakangalongaloʻi ʻae tangi ʻae angavaivai.
12For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
13Ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻE Sihova; ʻo tokanga ki heʻeku mamahi meiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, ʻa koe ʻoku ke hiki au ki ʻolunga mei he ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate:
13Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
14Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ho ongoongolelei kotoa pē. ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe taʻahine ʻo Saione: te u fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui.
14that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
15Kuo ngalo hifo ʻae hiteni ʻi he luo naʻa nau ngaohi: ʻi he tauhele naʻa nau fakalilo kuo moʻua ai honau vaʻe.
15The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he fakamaau ʻoku ne fai: kuo heleʻi ʻae angakovi ʻi he ngāue ʻa hono nima ʻoʻona. Hikaione. Sila.
16The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
17ʻE tekeʻi ʻae angahala ki loto heli, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua.
17The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
18Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ngalo maʻuaipē ʻae masiva: ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ke taʻengata ʻae ʻamanaki ʻae masiva.
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke mālohi ʻae tangata: tuku ke fakamaau ʻae hiteni ʻi ho ʻao.
19Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20Fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻE Sihova: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ko e tangata pē ʻakinautolu. Sila.
20Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
