Psalms 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Fanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku lotu: fakahaofi ʻeku moʻui mei he manavahē ki he fili.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, from the tumult of the workers of iniquity,

Fakafufū au mei he filioʻi ʻae kau angahala; mei he angatuʻu fakamaveuveu ʻoe kau fai kovi:

3 who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

‌ʻOku nau fakamata honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e heletā, ʻonau teke ʻenau kaufana ke fanaʻi ʻenau ngaahi ngahau, ʻio, ko e ngaahi lea kona.

4 that they may shoot in secret places at a blameless man. Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Koeʻuhi ke nau fana ʻi he lilo ki he haohaoa: ʻoku nau fana fakafokifā pe kiate ia, ʻo taʻemanavahē.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil purpose. They converse of laying snares secretly. They say, Who will see them?

‌ʻOku nau fetokoniʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa kovi: ʻoku nau fakakaukau ke tau ʻae ngaahi tauhele ʻi he lilo; ʻoku nau pehē, “Ko hai te ne mamata kiate kimautolu?”

6 They search out iniquities, saying, We have accomplished a diligent search. And the inward part of man and the heart are deep.

‌ʻOku nau kumi ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi kovi ʻoku nau faʻa ʻeke ke lahi: ʻoku taumamaʻo ʻae mahalo mo e loto ʻokinautolu kotoa pē.

7 But God will shoot at them. With an arrow they shall suddenly be wounded.

Ka ʻe fana ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae ngahau; te nau lavea fakafokifā pe.

8 So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them. All who see them shall wag the head.

Ko ia tenau ngaohi honau ʻelelo ke tō kiate kinautolu: ʻe hola ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate kinautolu.

9 And all men shall fear. And they shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely consider of his doing.

Pea ʻe manavahē ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻOtua; he tenau fakakaukau poto ki heʻene ngāue.

10 A righteous man shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.

‌ʻE fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻEiki, pea falala kiate ia; pea vikiviki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu ʻi loto.
