Psalms 118

1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.

Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.

2 Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever.

Ke lea ni ʻe ʻIsileli, “ʻOku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.”

3 Let the house of Aaron now say: For his mercy is forever.

Ke lea ni ʻae fale ʻo ʻElone, “ʻOku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.”

4 Let those who fear the Lord now say: For his mercy is forever.

Tuku ke lea ni ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kia Sihova, ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.

5 In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity.

Naʻaku ui kia Sihova ʻi he mamahi: pea naʻe talia au ʻe Sihova, mo ne tuku au ki he potu ʻataʻatā.

6 The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.

‌ʻOku kau maʻaku ʻa Sihova; ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ko e hā ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he tangata kiate au.

7 The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies.

‌ʻOku fai maʻaku ʻa Sihova mo kinautolu ʻoku nau tokoni au: ko ia te u mamata ai kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au.

8 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man.

‌ʻOku lelei lahi ʻae falala kia Sihova ʻi he falala ki he tangata.

9 It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders.

‌ʻOku lelei lahi ʻae falala kia Sihova ʻi he falala ki he ngaahi ʻeiki.

10 All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.

Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē: ka ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.

11 Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.

Naʻa nau takatakai au; ʻio, naʻa nau kāpui au: ka ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.

12 They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.

Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻo hangē ko e fanga pi; kuo tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e afi ʻi he ʻakau talatala: he te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.

13 Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up.

Kuo ke tekeʻi mālohi au koeʻuhi ke u hinga ai: ka naʻe tokoni au ʻe Sihova

14 The Lord is my strength and my praise. And he has become my salvation.

Ko hoku mālohi ʻa Sihova mo ʻeku hiva, pea kuo hoko ia ko hoku fakamoʻui.

15 A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.

Ko e lea ʻoe fiefia mo e fakamoʻui ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe angatonu: ʻoku fai mālohi ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova.

16 The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue.

Kuo hiki hake ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova: ʻoku fai mālohi ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova.

17 I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.

‌ʻE ʻikai te u mate, kae moʻui, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova.

18 When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death.

Kuo tautea fakamamahiʻi au ʻe Sihova: ka ʻoku teʻeki ai te ne tukuange au ki he mate.

19 Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord.

Toʻo kiate au ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: te u hū ai, pea u fakamālō kia Sihova:

20 This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it.

Ko e matapā eni ʻo Sihova, ʻaia ʻe hū ai ʻae angatonu.

21 I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my salvation.

Te u fakamālō kiate koe: he kuo ke ongoʻi au, pea kuo ke hoko ko hoku fakamoʻui.

22 The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner.

Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga kuo hoko ia ko e fungani maka ʻoe tuliki.

23 By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes.

Ko e ngāue eni ʻa Sihova; pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao.

24 This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it.

Ko e ʻaho eni kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova; te tau fiefia pea nekeneka ai.

25 O Lord, grant salvation to me. O Lord, grant good prosperity.

‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamoʻui ni: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuku mai ni ʻae monūʻia.

26 Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.

Ke monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: kuo mau tāpuekina ʻakimoutolu mei he fale ʻo Sihova.

27 The Lord is God, and he has enlightened us. Establish a solemn day amid a dense crowd, even to the horn of the altar.

Ko e ʻOtua ko Sihova ia, ʻaia kuo ne fakahā ʻae maama kiate kitautolu: mou nonoʻo ʻae feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi afo ki he ngaahi nifo, ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

28 You are my God, and I will confess to you. You are my God, and I will exalt you. I will confess to you, for you have heeded me. And you have become my salvation.

Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua, pea te u fakamālō kiate koe: ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua, te u fakahikihikiʻi koe.

29 Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.

Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
