World English Bible
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
1Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea naʻa ne ongoʻi au.
2Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
2ʻE Sihova, fakahaofi hoku laumālie mei he loungutu loi, pea mei he ʻelelo kākā.
3What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
3Ko e hā ʻe ʻatu kiate koe? He ko e hā ʻe fai kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻelelo kākā?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
4ʻAe ngaahi ngahau māsila ʻae tangata mālohi, mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi ʻoe sunipa.
5Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
5ʻOku ou malaʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻāunofo ʻi Meseki, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Keta!
6My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
6Kuo nofo ʻo fuoloa ʻa hoku laumālie fakataha mo ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki he melino.
7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
7ʻOku ou loto ki he melino: ka ʻi heʻeku lea ʻoku nau fie tau.
