Psalms 91

1 You whose home is the shelter of God Most High, whose abode is the shadow of God Almighty,

Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu lilo ʻi he fungani māʻolunga, ʻe nofomaʻu ia he malumalu ʻoe Māfimafi.

2 can say to the Lord, ‘My refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’

Te u pehē, “Ko Sihova, ko hoku hūfanga ia mo ʻeku kolo: ko hoku ʻOtua te u falala kiate ia.”

3 For he saves you from fowler’s snare, from deadly plague,

Ko e moʻoni te ne fakamoʻui koe mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele, pea mei he mahaki fakaʻauha.

4 he shelters you with his pinions, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be a shield and buckler.

Te ne ʻōʻōfaki koe ʻaki hono fulufulu, pea te ke falala ki hono lalo kapakau: ko ʻene moʻoni ko ho fakaū mo ho pā ia.

5 You need not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koeʻuhi ko e meʻa fakailifia ʻi he pō; pe koeʻuhi ko e ngahau ʻoku puna atu ʻi he ʻaho;

6 nor the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the pestilence raging at noon.

Pe koeʻuhi ko e mahaki lahi ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli; pe koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha ʻoku fakaʻosiʻosi ʻi he hoʻatā.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand: but it will not draw near to you.

‌ʻE tō ʻae toko afe ʻi ho tafaʻaki, pea ko e toko mano ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ka ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ʻo ofi kiate koe.

8 You will only look on with your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.

Ka te ke vakai ʻo mamata ʻaki ho mata ki he totongi ʻoe angahala.

9 You have made the Lord your refuge, you have made the Most High your defence.

Koeʻuhi kuo ke fili ʻa Sihova ʻaia ko hoku hūfanga, ʻio, ko e fungani māʻolunga ko ho nofoʻanga:

10 You will never be met by misfortune, no plague will come near your tent,

‌ʻE ʻikai tō ha kovi kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ha mamahi fakaʻauha ke ofi ki ho nofoʻanga.

11 for he orders his angels to guard you, wherever you go.

He te ne fekau ʻene kau ʻāngelo kenau vakai koe, ke tauhi koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē.

12 They will carry you with their hands, so you don’t hurt your foot on a stone.

Tenau hapai hake koe ʻi he nima, telia naʻa tūkia ho vaʻe ki ha maka.

13 You will trample down lions and snakes, tread on young lions and cobras.

Te ke molomoloki ʻae laione mo e ngata: ko e laione mui mo e talākoni te ke malaki hifo ia.

14 ‘Because of their love for me, I will deliver them, I will protect those who trust my name.

“Koeʻuhi kuo ne tuku ʻene ʻofa kiate au, ko ia te u fakamoʻui ia: te u fokotuʻu ia ke māʻolunga, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻiloʻi hoku huafa.

15 I will answer their cry and be with them in trouble, bringing them forth into safety and honour.

Te ne ui kiate au, pea te u talia ia: te u ʻiate ia ʻi he mamahi; te u fakamoʻui ia, pea hakeakiʻi ia.

16 I will give them a life of many days, I will show them my salvation.’

Te u fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ia ʻae moʻui fuoloa, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻeku fakamoʻui.”
