World English Bible
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1I cry with my voice to the LORD. With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.
1Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo; ne u kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo.
2I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
2Naʻaku lilingi ʻeku fakakaukau ʻi hono ʻao; ne u fakahā ʻi hono ʻao ʻeku mamahi.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
3ʻI he taʻomia ʻa hoku laumālie, ne ke ʻilo ai hoku ʻaluʻanga. ʻI he hala ne u ʻeveʻeva ai kuo nau ʻai fufū ʻae tauhele kiate au.
4Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
4Ne u sio, mo vakai ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne ʻiloʻi au: naʻe ʻikai haʻaku hūfanga; naʻe ʻikai tokanga ha tangata ki hoku laumālie.
5I cried to you, LORD. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
5Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ne u pehē, Ko koe ko hoku hūfanga, mo hoku ʻinasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
6Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
6Ke ke tokanga ki heʻeku tangi; he ʻoku ou vaivai ʻaupito: fakamoʻui au mei hoku kau fakatanga; he ʻoku nau mālohi hake kiate au.
7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
7ʻOmi hoku laumālie mei he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ke u fakamālō ai ki ho huafa: ʻe kāpui au ʻe he angatonu; he te ke fai lelei lahi kiate au.
