Psalms 70

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ko e fakamanatu. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au; ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai vave ke tokoni au.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Tuku ke mā mo puputuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi hoku laumālie: tuku ke fakafoki kimui, mo fakamaveuveu, ʻakinautolu ʻoku holi ke u kovi.

3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Tuku ke foki kimui ʻakinautolu, ko e totongi ʻo ʻenau kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē, Ha ha.

4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Tuku ke fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi kiate koe: tuku ke lea pehē maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, “Ke ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua.”

5 But I am poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no delay.

Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo paea: ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke haʻu vave kiate au: ko koe ko hoku tokoni mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke tatali.
