Psalms 31
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻOku ou falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā: fakamoʻui au ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
2 Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: be thou to me a strong rock, an house of defence to save me.
Fakatokangaʻi ho telinga kiate au; ke vave hoʻo fakamoʻui au: ke ke ʻiate au ko e maka mālohi, ko e fale hūfanga ke fakamoʻui au.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me.
He ko koe ko hoku makatuʻu mo ʻeku kolo: ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa ke ke tataki au, ʻo fakahinohino au.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; for thou art my strong hold.
Toho au mei he kupenga kuo nau ʻaʻau fakafufū kiate au: he ko koe ko hoku mālohi.
5 Into thine hand I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth.
ʻOku ou tuku atu hoku laumālie ki ho nima: kuo ke huhuʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni.
6 I hate them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
Naʻaku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga loi pē: ka ʻoku ou falala kia Sihova.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast seen my affliction; thou hast known my soul in adversities:
Te u fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: he kuo ke tokanga ki heʻeku mamahi; kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku laumālie ʻi he ngaahi mamahi;
8 And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; thou hast set my feet in a large place.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuni au ʻi he nima ʻoe fili: kuo ke fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu ʻataʻatā lahi.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in distress: mine eye wasteth away with grief, [yea], my soul and my body.
ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku ou moʻua ʻi he mamahi: kuo ʻauha hoku mata ʻi he tangi, ʻio, ko hoku laumālie mo hoku kete.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.
He kuo ʻosi ʻeku moʻui ʻi he tangi, mo hoku ngaahi taʻu ʻi he mafulu: kuo fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi hoku mālohi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku hia, pea kuo ʻauha hoku ngaahi hui.
11 Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻo hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē, kae ʻāsili pe ki hoku ngaahi kaungāʻapi, pea ko e ilifiaʻanga ʻo hoku kaumeʻa: ko kinautolu naʻe mamata kiate au ʻi tuaʻā naʻa nau hola ʻiate au.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
Kuo fakangalongaloʻi au mei he loto ʻo hangē ko e tangata kuo mate: kuo u tatau mo e ipu kuo maumau.
13 For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
He naʻaku fanongo ki he lauʻikovi ʻe he tokolahi: naʻe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē: lolotonga ʻenau fakakaukau fakataha kiate au, naʻa nau loto ke toʻo ʻeku moʻui.
14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
Ka naʻaku falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova: naʻaku pehē, Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Ko hoku ngaahi kuonga ʻoku ʻi ho nima: ke ke fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy lovingkindness.
Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
17 Let me not he ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
ʻOua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā, ʻe Sihova; he naʻaku ui kiate koe: tuku ke mā ʻae kau angahala, tuku ke nau longo pē ʻi he faʻitoka. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be dumb; which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
Tuku ke fakalongo pē ʻae ngaahi loungutu loi; ʻaia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakamamahi ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fielahi mo e manuki.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that put their trust in thee, before the sons of men!
ʻOku fēfē hono lahi ʻo hoʻo angalelei, ʻaia kuo ke hilifaki maʻanautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe; ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻoku falala kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata!
20 In the covert of thy presence shalt thou hide them from the plottings of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Te ke fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lilo ʻo ho fofonga mei he fielahi ʻae tangata: te ke tauhi fakafufū pe ʻakinautolu ʻi ha ʻafioʻanga mei he fakakikihi ʻoe ngaahi ʻelelo.
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvelous lovingkindness in a strong city.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahā kiate au ʻene angalelei fakaofo ʻi he kolo mālohi.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
He naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “kuo motuhi au mei he ʻao ʻo ho fofonga:” ka naʻa ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu ʻi heʻeku tangi kiate koe.
23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Mou ʻofa kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē: he ʻoku tauhi ʻe Sihova ʻae kau angatonu, pea ʻoku ne totongi lahi ki he kau fai fakafielahi.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Ke mou lototoʻa, pea te ne fakamālohi homou loto, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei kia Sihova.
