Psalms 116

1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.

‌ʻOku ou ʻofa kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo mo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.

2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

Koeʻuhi kuo ne fakatokangaʻi hono fofonga kiate au, ko ia te u ui ai ki heʻene ʻafio ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho.

3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate, pea naʻe puke au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻo heli: naʻaku ʻilo ai ʻae tuʻutāmaki mo e mamahi. (Sheol h7585)

4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'

Pea naʻaku toki ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova; “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie.”

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.

‌ʻOku manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova, mo māʻoniʻoni; ʻio, ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ʻa hotau ʻOtua.

6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

‌ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae taʻekākā: naʻaku vaivai pea naʻa ne tokoniʻi au.

7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

‌ʻE hoku laumālie, ke ke foki ki ho mālōlōʻanga; he kuo lahi ʻae foaki ʻa Sihova kiate koe.

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

He kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he mate, mo hoku mata mei he loʻimata, mo hoku vaʻe ke ʻoua naʻa hinga.

9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.

Te u ʻeveʻeva, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.

10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'

Naʻaku tui, ko ia kuo u lea ai: “Naʻaku mahaki lahi:”

11 I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'

Naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “ʻOku loi ʻae kakai kotoa pē.”

12 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?

Ko e hā te u ʻatu kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi meʻaʻofa kotoa pē kiate au?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

Te u toʻo ʻae ipu ʻoe fakamoʻui, pea te u ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.

14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people.

Te u fai ni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai kotoa pē.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

‌ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae pekia ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni.

16 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

‌ʻE Sihova, ko e moʻoni ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au; ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au, mo e tama ʻa hoʻo kaunanga: kuo ke vete hoku ngaahi haʻi.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

Te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi, pea ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.

18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people;

Te u fai ni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai kotoa pē,

19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

‌ʻI he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou, ʻE Selūsalema. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
