< Psalms 119 >

1 ALEPH. Happy are they that are upright in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae haohaoa ʻi he hala, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
2 Happy are they that keep His testimonies, that seek Him with the whole heart.
‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, pea kumi kiate ia ʻaki honau loto kotoa pē.
3 Yea, they do no unrighteousness; they walk in His ways.
‌ʻOku ʻikai foki tenau fai ha kovi: ʻoku nau ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.
4 Thou hast ordained Thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently.
Kuo ke fekau mai ke mau tauhi maʻu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to observe Thy statutes!
‌ʻOku ʻamusiaange ʻeau kuo fakahinohino ki hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
6 Then should I not be ashamed, when I have regard unto all Thy commandments.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā, ʻo kau ka tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
7 I will give thanks unto Thee with uprightness of heart, when I learn Thy righteous ordinances.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he angatonu ʻoe loto, ʻo kau ka ʻilo hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
8 I will observe Thy statutes; O forsake me not utterly.
Te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻoua naʻa ke siʻaki ʻaupito au.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man keep his way pure? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word.
‌ʻE fakamaʻa ʻe he tangata talavou hono hala ʻi he hā? ʻI heʻene tokanga ki ai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
10 With my whole heart have I sought Thee; O let me not err from Thy commandments.
Kuo u kumi kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee.
Kuo u fufū hoʻo folofola ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku angahala kiate koe.
12 Blessed art Thou, O LORD; teach me Thy statutes.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo ʻafio: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
13 With my lips have I told all the ordinances of Thy mouth.
Kuo u fakahā ʻaki hoku loungutu, ʻae ngaahi fakamaau kotoa pē ʻa ho fofonga.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of Thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
Naʻaku fiefia ʻi hono ʻalunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa pē.
15 I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto Thy ways.
Te u fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki, pea te u tokanga ki ho ngaahi hala.
16 I will delight myself in Thy statutes; I will not forget Thy word.
Te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo folofola.
17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with Thy servant that I may live, and I will observe Thy word.
Foaki ke lahi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui, pea te u tauhi ki hoʻo folofola.
18 Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law.
Ke ke fakaʻā hoku mata, koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi hoʻo fono.
19 I am a sojourner in the earth; hide not Thy commandments from me.
Ko e muli au ʻi māmani: ʻoua naʻa fufū hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻiate au.
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto Thine ordinances at all times.
‌ʻOku mafesi hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko ʻene holi ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, that do err from Thy commandments.
Kuo ke valokiʻi ʻae laukau, ʻakinautolu ʻoku malaʻia, ʻaia kuo hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
22 Take away from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept Thy testimonies.
‌ʻAve ʻiate au ʻae taukaea mo e manukia; he kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
23 Even though princes sit and talk against me, thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes.
Naʻe nofo foki ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo lauʻikoviʻi au: ka naʻe fakalauloto ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
24 Yea, Thy testimonies are my delight, they are my counsellors.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni foki ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia, mo hoku ngaahi akonakiʻi.
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust; quicken Thou me according to Thy word.
‌ʻOku pikitai ʻa hoku laumālie ki he efu: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
26 I told of my ways, and Thou didst answer me; teach me Thy statutes.
Kuo u fakahā hoku ngaahi hala, pea naʻa ke ongoʻi au: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
27 Make me to understand the way of Thy precepts, that I may talk of Thy wondrous works.
Ngaohi au ke u ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: pea te u lea ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
28 My soul melteth away for heaviness; sustain me according unto Thy word.
Kuo vai ʻa hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko e ongosia: fakamālohiʻi au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
29 Remove from me the way of falsehood; and grant me Thy law graciously.
Ke ke hiki ʻiate au ʻae hala ʻoe loi, pea ke tuku mai hoʻo fono kiate au ʻi he ʻofa.
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; Thine ordinances have I set before me.
Kuo u fili ʻae hala ʻoe moʻoni: pea kuo u fokotuʻu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi hoku ʻao.
31 I cleave unto Thy testimonies; O LORD, put me not to shame.
Kuo u pikitai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni; ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaaʻi au.
32 I will run the way of Thy commandments, for Thou dost enlarge my heart.
Te u lele ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻoka ke ka fakaʻataʻatā hoku loto.
33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of Thy statutes; and I will keep it at every step.
‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke ako kiate au ʻae hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; pea te u fai ki ai ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
34 Give me understanding, that I keep Thy law and observe it with my whole heart.
Foaki mai kiate au ʻae faʻa ʻilo, pea te u fai ki hoʻo fono; ʻio, te u tokanga ki ai ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē.
35 Make me to tread in the path of Thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
Ngaohi au ke u ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau; he ʻoku ou fiefia ai.
36 Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
Fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, kae ʻikai ki he manumanu.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, and quicken me in Thy ways.
Taʻofi hoku mata mei he vakai ki he meʻa vaʻinga; pea ke fakaakeake au ʻi ho hala.
38 Confirm Thy word unto Thy servant, which pertaineth unto the fear of Thee.
Fakamoʻoni hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa kiate koe.
39 Turn away my reproach which I dread; for Thine ordinances are good.
Taʻofi atu hoku manukia ʻaia ʻoku ou manavahē ai: he ʻoku lelei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
40 Behold, I have longed after Thy precepts; quicken me in Thy righteousness.
Vakai, ʻoku ou holi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: fakamoʻui au ʻi ho māʻoniʻoni.
41 VAV. Let Thy mercies also come unto me, O LORD, even Thy salvation, according to Thy word;
‌ʻE Sihova, tuku ke hoko foki hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻio, ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
42 That I may have an answer for him that taunteth me; for I trust in Thy word.
Pehē te u maʻu ha meʻa ke tali ʻaki kiate ia ʻoku manukiʻi au: he ʻoku ou falala ki hoʻo folofola.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I hope in Thine ordinances;
Pea ʻoua naʻa toʻo ʻaupito ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni mei hoku ngutu; he kuo u ʻamanaki lelei ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
44 So shall I observe Thy law continually for ever and ever;
Pea te u fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo fono ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
45 And I will walk at ease, for I have sought Thy precepts;
Pea te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi he tauʻatāina: he ʻoku ou kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
46 I will also speak of Thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed.
Te u lea foki ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā ai.
47 And I will delight myself in Thy commandments, which I have loved.
Pea te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u ʻofa ki ai.
48 I will lift up my hands also unto Thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in Thy statutes.
Te u hiki hake foki hoku nima ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u ʻofa ki ai pea te u fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto Thy servant, because Thou hast made me to hope.
Manatuʻi ʻae folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo ke fakaʻamanakiʻi au ki ai.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction, that Thy word hath quickened me.
Ko hoku fiemālieʻanga eni ʻi heʻeku mamahi: he ko hoʻo folofola kuo ne fakamoʻui au.
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision; yet have I not turned aside from Thy law.
Kuo manuki lahi kiate au ʻae laukau: ka naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo fono.
52 I have remembered Thine ordinances which are of old, O LORD, and have comforted myself.
‌ʻE Sihova, naʻaku manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi muʻa; pea u fakafiemālieʻi au.
53 Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me, because of the wicked that forsake Thy law.
Kuo pukea au ʻe he ilifia koeʻuhi ko e angahala kuo nau siʻaki hoʻo fono.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko ʻeku hiva ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku ʻāunofo.
55 I have remembered Thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have observed Thy law.
‌ʻE Sihova, kuo u manatu ki ho huafa ʻi he pō, pea u fai ki hoʻo fono.
56 This I have had, that I have kept Thy precepts.
Naʻaku maʻu eni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
57 HETH. My portion is the LORD, I have said that I would observe Thy words.
‌ʻE Sihova, ko hoku ʻinasi ʻa koe: naʻaku pehē te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi folofola.
58 I have entreated Thy favour with my whole heart; be gracious unto me according to Thy word.
Naʻaku kole ki hoʻo ʻofa ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
59 I considered my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies.
Naʻaku fifili ki hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga, pea u fakaafe hoku vaʻe ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
60 I made haste, and delayed not, to observe Thy commandments.
Ne u fakatoʻotoʻo, pea ʻikai tuai, ʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
61 The bands of the wicked have enclosed me; but I have not forgotten Thy law.
Kuo kaihaʻasia au ʻe he ngaahi kaihaʻakau ʻoe kau angahala: ka naʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au ʻa hoʻo fono.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee because of Thy righteous ordinances.
Te u tuʻu hake ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie ke fakafetaʻi kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
63 I am a companion of all them that fear Thee, and of them that observe Thy precepts.
‌ʻOku ou kaumeʻa mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of Thy mercy; teach me Thy statutes.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with Thy servant, O LORD, according unto Thy word.
‌ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fie fai lelei ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed Thy commandments.
Ke ke ako kiate au ʻae fakamaau lelei mo e faʻa ʻilo: he ʻoku ou tui ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
67 Before I was afflicted, I did err; but now I observe Thy word.
‌ʻI he teʻeki ai te u mahaki naʻaku hē: ka ko eni kuo u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me Thy statutes.
‌ʻOku ke angalelei, pea ʻoku ke fai lelei; ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me; but I with my whole heart will keep Thy precepts.
Kuo fakatupu ʻe he fielahi ʻae loi kiate au: ka te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē.
70 Their heart is gross like fat; but I delight in Thy law.
‌ʻOku tatau honau loto mo e ngako, ka ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻo fono.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, in order that I might learn Thy statutes.
Kuo ʻaonga kiate au ʻa hoku mahaki; koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
72 The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
‌ʻOku lelei lahi kiate au ʻae fono ʻaho fofonga ʻi he ngaahi afe ʻoe kuonga koula mo e siliva.
73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Thy commandments.
Ko ho nima naʻa ne ngaohi au mo fakatonutonu: foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
74 They that fear Thee shall see me and be glad, because I have hope in Thy word.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe tenau fiefia ʻoka nau ka mamata kiate au; koeʻuhi naʻaku ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
75 I know, O LORD, that Thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, pea ʻi he angatonu kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au.
76 Let, I pray Thee, Thy lovingkindness be ready to comfort me, according to Thy promise unto Thy servant.
‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
77 Let Thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for Thy law is my delight.
Tuku ke hoko kiate au hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ai: he ko hoʻo fono ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
78 Let the proud be put to shame, for they have distorted my cause with falsehood; but I will meditate in Thy precepts.
Tuku ke mā ʻae fielahi; he naʻa Tuku ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu kuo nau ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
79 Let those that fear Thee return unto me, and they that know Thy testimonies.
Tuku ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu kuo nau ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
80 Let my heart be undivided in Thy statutes, in order that I may not be put to shame.
Tuku ke haohaoa hoku loto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku mā ai.
81 CAPH. My soul pineth for Thy salvation; in Thy word do I hope.
‌ʻOku pongia hoku laumālie ʻi he fiemaʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui: ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
82 Mine eyes fail for Thy word, saying: 'When wilt Thou comfort me?'
‌ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo folofola, ʻoku ou pehē, “Te ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻafē?”
83 For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; yet do I not forget Thy statutes.
He kuo u hoko ʻo tatau mo e hina ʻi he ʻohuafi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
84 How many are the days of Thy servant? When wilt Thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
‌ʻOku fiha ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? Te ke fakamaau ʻafē ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to Thy law.
Kuo keli ʻe he fielahi ʻae ngaahi luo kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tatau mo hoʻo fono.
86 All Thy commandments are faithful; they persecute me for nought; help Thou me.
‌ʻOku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē: ʻoku taʻetotonu ʻenau fakatangaʻi au; ke ke tokoniʻi au,
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but as for me, I forsook not Thy precepts.
Naʻa nau meimei fakaʻauha au ʻi māmani ka naʻe ʻikai te u siʻaki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
88 Quicken me after Thy lovingkindness, and I will observe the testimony of Thy mouth.
Fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; ko ia te u tauhi ai ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻa ho fofonga.
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, Thy word standeth fast in heaven.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo folofola ʻi he langi ʻo lauikuonga.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations; Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
‌ʻOku aʻu atu hoʻo moʻoni ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē: kuo ke fokotuʻu ʻa māmani, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ia.
91 They stand this day according to Thine ordinances; for all things are Thy servants.
‌ʻOku nau tolonga he ʻaho ni ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
92 Unless Thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Ka ne ʻikai ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ʻa hoʻo fono, pehē, ne u mate ʻi hoku mahaki.
93 I will never forget Thy precepts; for with them Thou hast quickened me.
‌ʻE ʻikai siʻi ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻo lauikuonga: he ko ia kuo ke fakamoʻui ai au.
94 I am Thine, save me; for I have sought Thy precepts.
‌ʻOku ʻaʻau au, ke ke fakamoʻui au he kuo u kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me; but I will consider Thy testimonies.
Kuo tatali ʻae angahala kiate au ke tāmateʻi au: ka te u fifili ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
96 I have seen an end to every purpose; but Thy commandment is exceeding broad.
Kuo u mamata ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe haohaoa kotoa pē: ka ʻoku laulahi ʻaupito ʻa hoʻo fekau.
97 MEM. O how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day.
‌ʻOku ou ʻofa lahi ki hoʻo fono: ʻoku ou fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
98 Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
Kuo ke ngaohi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau ke u poto hake ʻi hoku ngaahi fili: he ʻoku ʻiate au maʻuaipē ia.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Thy testimonies are my (meditation)
‌ʻOku ou poto lahi hake ʻi heʻeku kau akonaki kotoa pē: he ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku fakakaukauʻanga ia.
100 I understand more than mine elders, because I have keep Thy precepts.
‌ʻOku ou ʻilo lahi hake ʻi he kau mātuʻa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou tauhi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, in order that I might observe Thy word.
Naʻaku taʻofi hoku vaʻe mei he hala kovi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
102 I have not turned aside from Thine ordinances; for Thou hast instructed me.
Naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau: he kuo ke akonakiʻi au.
103 How sweet are Thy words unto my palate! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
‌ʻOku huʻamelie lahi hoʻo ngaahi folofola ki hoku ifo! ʻIo, ʻoku melie lahi ʻi he hone ki hoku ngutu!
104 From Thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
‌ʻOku ou maʻu ʻae poto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: ko ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ai ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Ko hoʻo folofola ko e tūhulu ia ki hoku vaʻe, mo e maama ki hoku hala.
106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, to observe Thy righteous ordinances.
Kuo u fuakava, pea te u fai ki ai, ke u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
107 I am afflicted very much; quicken me, O LORD, according unto Thy word.
‌ʻOku lahi ʻaupito hoku mahaki: fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
108 Accept, I beseech Thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Thine ordinances.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau loto lelei ʻa hoku ngutu, pea ke ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
109 My soul is continually in my hand; yet have I not forgotten Thy law.
‌ʻOku ʻi hoku nima maʻuaipē ʻa ʻeku moʻui: ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo fono.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; yet went I not astray from Thy precepts.
Kuo ʻai ʻe he angahala ʻae tauhele kiate au: ka naʻe ʻikai te u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
Kuo u maʻu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku tofiʻa ʻo lauikuonga: he ko e fiefiaʻanga ia ʻo hoku loto.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Thy statutes, for ever, at every step.
Kuo u fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ke fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
113 SAMECH. I hate them that are of a double mind; but Thy law do I love.
‌ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he ngaahi mahalo kovi: ka ʻoku ou ʻofa ki hoʻo fono.
114 Thou art my covert and my shield; in Thy word do I hope.
Ko koe ko hoku toitoiʻanga, mo hoku fakaū; ʻoku ou ʻamanaki lelei ʻi hoʻo folofola.
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers; that I may keep the commandments of my God.
‌ʻAlu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fai kovi: he te u fai ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa hoku ʻOtua.
116 Uphold me according unto Thy word, that I may live; and put me not to shame in my hope.
Poupou hake au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ai. Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u mā ʻi heʻeku ʻamanaki.
117 Support Thou me, and I shall be saved; and I will occupy myself with Thy statutes continually.
Ke ke poupou hake au, pea te u hao ai: pea te u tokanga maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
118 Thou hast made light of all them that err from Thy statutes; for their deceit is vain.
Kuo ke malaki hifo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hē mei hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko ʻenau kākā ko e loi ia.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Thy testimonies.
‌ʻOku ke siʻaki ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻo hangē ko e ʻotoʻota: ko ia ʻoku ou ʻofa ai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
120 My flesh shuddereth for fear of Thee; and I am afraid of Thy judgments.
‌ʻOku tetetete hoku kakano ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku manavahē kiate koe; pea ʻoku ou manavahē ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
121 AIN. I have done justice and righteousness; leave me not to mine oppressors.
Kuo u fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu: ʻoua naʻa tukuange au ki he kau fakamālohi kiate au.
122 Be surety for Thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.
Ke ke hoko ko e ungakiʻi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke u lelei ai; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke taʻomia au ʻe he fielahi.
123 Mine eyes fail for Thy salvation, and for Thy righteous word.
‌ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea mo e folofola ʻo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
124 Deal with Thy servant according unto Thy mercy, and teach me Thy statutes.
Fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
125 I am Thy servant, give me understanding, that I may know Thy testimonies.
Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au; foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
126 It is time for the LORD to work; they have made void Thy law.
‌ʻE Sihova, kuo hoko ʻae kuonga ke ke ngāue ai: he kuo nau fakataʻeʻaongaʻi hoʻo fono.
127 Therefore I love Thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi hake ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻi he koula; ʻio, ʻi he koula lelei.
128 Therefore I esteem all Thy precepts concerning all things to be right; every false way I hate.
Ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul keep them.
‌ʻOku fakamanavahē hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: ko ia ʻoku fai ki ai ʻa hoku laumālie.
130 The opening of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Ko e hū loto ʻa hoʻo ngaahi folofola ʻoku foaki ai ʻae maama; ʻoku ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae poto ki he taʻekākā.
131 I opened wide my mouth, and panted; for I longed for Thy commandments.
Ne u mafaʻa hoku ngutu, pea u holi he ʻoku ou feinga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
132 Turn Thee towards me, and be gracious unto me, as is Thy wont to do unto those that love Thy name.
Ke ke ʻafio mai kiate au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo faʻa fai kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki ho huafa.
133 Order my footsteps by Thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Tuʻutuʻuni ʻeku ngaahi laka ʻi hoʻo folofola: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke pule kiate au ha hia ʻe taha.
134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, and I will observe Thy precepts.
Fakamoʻui au mei he fakamālohi ʻae tangata: pea te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
135 Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; and teach me Thy statutes.
Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; pea ke ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
136 Mine eyes run down with rivers of water, because they observe not Thy law.
‌ʻOku tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻi hoku mata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tenau tokanga ki hoʻo fono.
137 TZADE. Righteous art Thou, O LORD, and upright are Thy judgments.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke angatonu, pea ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
138 Thou hast commanded Thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.
‌ʻOku māʻoniʻoni pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻaupito hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, ʻaia kuo ke fekau mai.
139 My zeal hath undone me, because mine adversaries have forgotten Thy words.
Kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi heʻeku fai feinga, koeʻuhi kuo ngalo ʻi hoku ngaahi fili hoʻo ngaahi folofola.
140 Thy word is tried to the uttermost, and Thy servant loveth it.
‌ʻOku haohaoa ʻaupito hoʻo folofola: ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
141 I am small and despised; yet have I not forgotten Thy precepts.
‌ʻOku ou siʻi au mo manukia: ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is the truth.
Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ko e māʻoniʻoni taʻengata, pea ko hoʻo fono ko e moʻoni ia.
143 Trouble and anguish have overtaken me; yet Thy commandments are my delight.
Kuo pukea au ʻe he mamahi mo e feinga: ka ko hoʻo ngaahi fekau ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
144 Thy testimonies are righteous for ever; give me understanding, and I shall live.
‌ʻOku taʻengata ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: ke ke foaki mai ʻae poto, pea te u moʻui ai.
145 KOPH. I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O LORD; I will keep Thy statutes.
Naʻaku tangi ʻaki hoku loto kotoa; ke ke ongoʻi au, ʻE Sihova: te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
146 I have called Thee, save me, and I will observe Thy testimonies.
Ne u tangi kiate koe; fakamoʻui au, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
147 I rose early at dawn, and cried; I hoped in Thy word.
Naʻaku muʻomuʻa ʻi he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea u tangi: ne u ʻamanaki ʻi hoʻo folofola.
148 Mine eyes forestalled the night-watches, that I might meditate in Thy word.
‌ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻa hoku mata ki he ngaahi leʻo ʻoe pō, koeʻuhi ke u fakakaukau ki hoʻo folofola.
149 Hear my voice according unto Thy lovingkindness; quicken me, O LORD, as Thou art wont.
Ke ke fanongo ki hoku leʻo ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fakamaau.
150 They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; they are far from Thy law.
‌ʻOku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau angimui ki he kovi: ʻoku nau mamaʻo mei hoʻo fono.
151 Thou art nigh, O LORD; and all Thy commandments are truth.
‌ʻOku ke ofi mai, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻoku moʻoni hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
152 Of old have I known from Thy testimonies that Thou hast founded them for ever.
Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, kuo fuoloa ʻeku ʻilo kuo ke fakamaau ia ʻo lauikuonga.
153 RESH. O see mine affliction, and rescue me; for I do not forget Thy law.
Ke ke tokanga ki hoku mahaki, pea ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo fono.
154 Plead Thou my cause, and redeem me; quicken me according to Thy word.
Ke ke fakamatala ʻeku meʻa, mo fakahaofi au: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not Thy statutes.
‌ʻOku mamaʻo ʻae fakamoʻui mei he angahala: he ʻoku ʻikai tenau kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
156 Great are Thy compassions, O LORD; quicken me as Thou art wont.
‌ʻOku lahi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua, ʻE Sihova: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
157 Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; yet have I not turned aside from Thy testimonies.
‌ʻOku tokolahi hoku kau fakatanga mo hoku ngaahi fili; ka ʻoku ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
158 I beheld them that were faithless, and strove with them; because they observed not Thy word.
Naʻaku mamata ki he kau talangataʻa, pea u mamahi ai; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fai ki hoʻo folofola.
159 O see how I love Thy precepts; quicken me, O LORD, according to Thy lovingkindness.
Ke ke ʻafio ki hono anga ʻo ʻeku ʻofa ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
160 The beginning of Thy word is truth; and all Thy righteous ordinance endureth for ever.
‌ʻOku moʻoni hoʻo folofola mei hono kamataʻanga: pea ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of Thy words.
Kuo fakatanga au taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki: ka ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa hoku loto ki hoʻo folofola.
162 I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
‌ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻo folofola, ʻo hangē ko e taha ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae koloa lahi.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood; Thy law do I love.
‌ʻOku ou fehiʻa mo fākaliliʻa ki he loi: ka ʻoku ou ʻofa ki hoʻo fono.
164 Seven times a day do I praise Thee, because of Thy righteous ordinances.
‌ʻOku ou fakamālō kiate koe ʻo liunga fitu ʻi he ʻaho, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
165 Great peace have they that love Thy law; and there is no stumbling for them.
‌ʻOku maʻu ʻae fiemālie lahi ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fono: pea ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa.
166 I have hoped for Thy salvation, O LORD, and have done Thy commandments.
‌ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻamanaki ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
167 My soul hath observed Thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
Kuo tauhi ʻe hoku laumālie ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni; pea ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi ʻaupito ki ai.
168 I have observed Thy precepts and Thy testimonies; for all my ways are before Thee.
Kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki mo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: he ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga kotoa pē.
169 TAV. Let my cry come near before Thee, O LORD; give me understanding according to Thy word.
‌ʻE Sihova, tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku tangi ʻo ofi kiate koe: ke ke foaki mai ʻae poto ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
170 Let my supplication come before Thee; deliver me according to Thy word.
Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu ki ho ʻao: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
171 Let my lips utter praise: because Thou teachest me Thy statutes.
‌ʻE huaʻaki ʻe hoku loungutu ʻae fakamālō, ʻoka ke ka ako hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni kiate au.
172 Let my tongue sing of Thy word; for all Thy commandments are righteousness.
‌ʻE lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻelelo hoʻo folofola: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
173 Let Thy hand be ready to help me; for I have chosen Thy precepts.
Ke tokoni au ʻe ho nima; he kuo u fili hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
174 I have longed for Thy salvation, O LORD; and Thy law is my delight.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou holi ki hoʻo fakamoʻui; pea ko hoʻo fono ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise Thee; and let Thine ordinances help me.
Tuku ke moʻui ʻa hoku laumālie, pea ʻe fakamālō ia kiate koe; pea ke tokoni au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant; for I have not forgotten Thy commandments.
Naʻaku hē ʻo hangē ko e sipi kuo mole; ke ke kumi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
