Psalms 66

1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all ye lands:

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame. Mou kalanga fiefia ki he ʻOtua, ʻae fonua kotoa pē:

2 Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.

Hiva ʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo hono huafa: fakaongoongolelei ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.

3 Say to God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.

Mou pehē ki he ʻOtua, “ʻOku ke fakamanavahē koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue! Ko e meʻa ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi ʻe fakamoʻulaloa ai ʻekinautolu ʻe ho ngaahi fili kiate koe.

4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. (Selah)

‌ʻE hū ʻa māmani kotoa pē kiate koe, ʻonau hiva kiate koe; te nau hiva ki ho huafa.” (Sila)

5 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing towards the children of men.

Haʻu ʻo mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku fakamanavahē ia ʻi heʻene ngāue ki he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata.

6 He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him.

Naʻa ne liliu ʻae tahi ko e fonua mōmoa: naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he fuʻu vaitafe ʻi honau vaʻe: naʻa tau fiefia ʻiate ia ʻi ai.

7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

‌ʻOku pule ia ʻi heʻene māfimafi ʻo taʻengata; ʻoku vakai ʻe hono fofonga ki he ngaahi puleʻanga: ʻoua naʻa hiki hake ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau angatuʻu. (Sila)

8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kakai, mou fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua, pea fai ke ongo ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakamālō kiate ia:

9 Who holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

‌ʻAia ʻoku ne poupou hotau laumālie ʻi he moʻui, pea ʻikai tuku hotau vaʻe ke ngaue.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

He kuo ke ʻiloʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻE ʻOtua: kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻoe siliva.

11 Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid affliction upon our loins.

Naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he kupenga; naʻa ke ʻai ʻae mahaki ki homau kongaloto.

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [place].

Naʻa ke tuku ke laka ʻae kakai ʻi homau ʻulu; naʻa mau ʻalu pe ʻi he afi mo e vai: ka naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu mahu.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

Te u hū ki ho fale mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu: te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ngaahi fuakava,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

‌ʻAia kuo ongo atu mei hoku loungutu, pea lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ngutu, ʻi heʻeku ʻi he mamahi.

15 I will offer to thee burnt-sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

Te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻae fanga manu sino, mo e meʻa namu kakala ʻoe fanga sipitangata; te u ʻatu ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi. (Sila)

16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

Haʻu ʻo fanongo, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pea te u fakahā ʻaia kuo ne fai ki hoku laumālie.

17 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

Naʻaku tangi kiate ia ʻaki hoku ngutu, pea naʻe fakamālō ʻa hoku ʻelelo kiate ia.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear [me]:

Kapau te u tokanga ki he kovi ʻi hoku loto, ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au:

19 [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Ka ko e moʻoni kuo ongoʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua; naʻe tokanga ia ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu.

20 Blessed [be] God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻeku lotu, pe ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻiate au.
