Psalms 30

1 A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

Ko e Saame mo e Hiva ʻi he hūfia ʻae fale ʻo Tevita. Te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; he kuo ke hiki hake au, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kiate au.

2 O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.

‌ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, naʻaku tangi kiate koe, pea kuo ke fakamoʻui au.

3 Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)

‌ʻE Sihova, kuo ke ʻohake hoku laumālie mei hētesi: kuo ke fakatolonga ʻeku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu hifo ki he luo. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

Hiva kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻi he manatu ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.

5 For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

He ʻoku hangē ko e kemo ʻoe mata hono houhau; ʻoku ai ʻae moʻui ʻi heʻene ʻofa: kapau ʻe ai ha tangi ʻi he pō, ʻe hoko ʻae fiefia ʻi he pongipongi.

6 And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

Pea ʻi heʻeku monūʻia naʻaku pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u ngaueue ʻo lauikuonga.”

7 O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

‌ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻae mālohi ki hoku moʻunga: naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga, pea ne u mamahi ai.

8 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ne u fai ʻeku kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova.

9 What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

“Ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻo hoku toto, ʻo kau ka ʻalu hifo ki he luo? ʻE fakafetaʻi ʻae efu kiate koe? ʻe fakahā ʻe ia hoʻo moʻoni?

10 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

Fanongo mai, ʻE Sihova, pea ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au: ʻE Sihova, ke ke hoko ko e tokoni kiate au.”

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

Kuo ke liliu kiate au ʻeku tangi ko e meʻe hopohopo: kuo ke vete hoku tauangaʻa, pea fakavala ʻaki au ʻae fiefia;

12 To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.

Koeʻuhi ke hiva ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻelelo ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa longo pē. ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, te u ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻo taʻengata.
