Psalms 33
1 A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.
Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
2 Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
3 Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
5 He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
ʻOku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae vai ʻoe tahi ʻo hangē ko e tafungofunga: ʻoku ne faʻoaki ʻae moana ʻi he ngaahi feleoko.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
9 For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
10 The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
11 But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ko ia ʻoku ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova; pea mo e kakai kuo ne fili ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
13 The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.
ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
14 From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
15 He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.
ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
16 The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
17 Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.
Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
19 To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
21 For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
