Tongan Bible, Revised West Version

1The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

1Ko ʻeku maama mo hoku fakamoʻui ʻa Sihova; te u manavahē kia hai? Ko e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea te u manavahē kia hai?

2When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

2‌ʻI he haʻu kiate au ʻae kau angahala, ko hoku ngaahi fili mo e kau fakamamahi kiate au, ke kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakano, naʻa nau tūkia ʻo hinga.

3Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

3Kapau ʻe fakataha ʻae kautau ke tauʻi au, ʻe ʻikai manavahē hoku loto; neongo ʻae tuʻu mai ʻae tau kiate au, te u falala pe ʻi he meʻa ni.

4One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

4Ko e meʻa ʻe taha kuo u kole kia Sihova, ʻaia te u kumi ki ai; koeʻuhi ke u nofomaʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ke mamata ki he lelei ʻo Sihova, mo fehuʻi ʻi hono faletapu.

5For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

5He te ne fufū au ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga: te ne fufū au ʻi he potu lilo ʻo hono fale fehikitaki; te ne fokotuʻu au ki he funga maka.

6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

6Pea ko eni, ʻe hiki ke māʻolunga hake hoku ʻulu ki hoku ngaahi fili ʻoku takatakai au: ko ia te u ʻohake ʻi hono fale fehikitaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻae fiefia; te u hiva, ʻio, te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.

7Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

7Ke ke ongoʻi, ʻE Sihova, ʻo kau ka tangi ʻaki hoku leʻo: ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai foki kiate au, ʻo talia au.

8When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”

8ʻI hoʻo folofola pehē , “Mou kumi ki hoku fofonga; naʻe pehē leva ʻe hoku loto kiate koe, Ko ho fofonga, ʻE Sihova, te u kumi.”

9Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

9‌ʻOua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au; ʻoua naʻa ke tukuange hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho houhau: naʻa ke tokoni au; ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au, pe siʻaki au, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui.

10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

10‌ʻOka liʻaki au ʻe heʻeku tamai mo ʻeku faʻē, ʻe toʻo hake au ʻe Sihova.

11Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

11‌ʻAko kiate au ho hala, ʻE Sihova, mo tataki au ʻi he hala ʻilongofua, koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.

12Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

12‌ʻOua naʻa ke tukuange au ki he loto ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: he kuo tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate au ʻae kau fakamoʻoni loi, mo ia ʻoku mānava ʻaki ʻae fai kovi.

13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

13Ka ne ʻikai te u tui ke u mamata ki he finangalo ʻofa ʻo Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui, pehē kuo u ilifia.

14Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.

14‌ʻAmanaki lelei kia Sihova: pea ke lototoʻa, pea te ne fakamālohi ho loto: ʻoku ou pehē, ʻamanaki lelei kia Sihova.
