Psalms 84

1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku lelei lahi ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki!

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

‌ʻOku holi hoku laumālie, ʻio, ʻoku ou vaivai ʻi he fie ʻalu ki he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻo Sihova; ʻoku tangi kalanga hoku loto mo hoku kakano ki he ʻOtua moʻui.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

‌ʻIo, kuo ʻilo ʻe he hikiʻi manupuna ʻae fale, mo e kulukulu ha pununga maʻana, ʻaia te ne tuku ki ai ʻene fānau, ʻio, ko ho ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko hoku Tuʻi, mo hoku ʻOtua.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi ho fale: tenau kei fakafetaʻi pe kiate koe. (Sila)

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the highways [to Zion].

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻiate koe hono mālohi; ʻoku ʻi hono loto ʻae ngaahi hala.

6 Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi he toafa ʻo Peka ʻoku ngaohi ia ko e matavai; ʻoku fakafonu foki ʻe he ʻuha ʻae ngaahi lepa.

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

‌ʻOku nau ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ki he mālohi, ʻo fakahā taki taha kotoa pē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Saione.

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

‌ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ke ke fanongo ki heʻeku lotu: fakafanongo, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope. (Sila)

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

Vakai, ʻE ʻOtua ko homau fakaū, mo ke ʻafio ki he fofonga ʻo hoʻo pani.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

He ʻoku lelei lahi hake ʻae ʻaho pe taha ʻi ho ngaahi loto ʻā, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha afe. ʻOku ou fili muʻa ke u nofo ko e leʻo matapā ʻi he fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku nofo ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe kovi.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

He ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ko e laʻā ia mo e fakaū: ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e nāunau: ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ha meʻa lelei ʻe taha meiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva totonu.

12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku falala kiate koe.
