Psalms 56
1 Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Sonatilemi-Lehokimi, ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita, ʻi he puke ia ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻi Kata. Ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻE ʻOtua: he ʻoku fie folo hifo au ʻe he tangata; ʻoku ne tauʻi au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa, ʻo ne taʻomia au.
2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
Ko e loto ʻo hoku ngaahi fili ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke folo hifo au: he ʻoku tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauʻi au, ʻE Fungani Māʻolunga.
3 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
ʻI he ʻaho ʻoku ou manavahē ai, te u falala kiate koe.
4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
Te u fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi heʻene folofola; ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki he meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he kakai kiate au.
5 All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
ʻOku nau fakakehe ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: ko ʻenau fakakaukau kotoa pē ke u kovi ai au.
6 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
ʻOku nau fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau fakafufū ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau vakai hoku ʻaluʻanga, ʻi heʻenau holi ki heʻeku moʻui.
7 For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,
Te nau hao koā ʻi heʻenau hia? ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke lī ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻi he houhau.
8 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.
ʻOku ke lau ʻa ʻeku ʻalu fano pē: ke ke ʻutu hoku ngaahi loʻimata ki hoʻo hina: ʻikai ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻi hoʻo tohi?
9 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
ʻO kau ka tangi kiate koe, ʻe foki kimui ai ʻa hoku ngaahi fili: ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni; he ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae ʻOtua.
10 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.
Te u fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi heʻene folofola: te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi heʻene folofola.
11 In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
Kuo u falala ki he ʻOtua: ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki ha meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he tangata kiate au.
12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi fuakava: te u ʻatu ʻae fakamālō kiate koe,
13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
He kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he mate: pea ʻikai te ke fakahaofi hoku vaʻe mei he hinga, koeʻuhi ke u ʻeveʻeva ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he maama ʻoe kakai moʻui?
