< Psalms 146 >

1 My soul, praise the Lord.
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Fakamālō kia Sihova, ʻE hoku laumālie.
2 I will praise the Lord, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.
Te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui: te u hiva fakamālō ki hoku ʻOtua ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
3 Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.
‌ʻOua naʻa mou falala ki he ngaahi ʻeiki, pe ki he foha ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ʻiate ia.
4 When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.
‌ʻOku mole atu ʻene mānava, pea ʻoku foki ia ki he kelekele; ʻoku mole ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻene ngaahi mahalo.
5 Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,
‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope ko hono tokoni, pea ko ʻene ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua:
6 the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.
‌ʻAia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi, mo māmani, ʻae tahi mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: pea ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae moʻoni ʻo lauikuonga:
7 For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.
‌ʻAia ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakamaau koeʻuhi ko e kakai fakamālohia: ʻoku ne foaki ʻae meʻakai ki he fiekaia. ʻOku vete ʻe Sihova ʻae kau pōpula:
8 The Lord gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.
‌ʻOku fakaʻā ʻe Sihova ʻae kui: ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu kuo mapelu ki lalo: ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he angatonu:
9 The Lord preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.
‌ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai muli; ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tamai mate mo e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti: ka ko e hala ʻoe angahala ʻoku ne fulihi ia.
10 The Lord shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.
‌ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata, ʻio, ko ho ʻOtua, ʻE Saione, ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
