Psalms 16
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
Ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita. ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
ʻE hoku laumālie, naʻa ke pehē kia Sihova, “Ko hoku ʻEiki koe: ʻoku ʻikai aʻu atu ʻeku angalelei kiate koe;”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
Ka ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi māmani, pea ki he angalelei, ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻeku fiefia kotoa pē.
4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
ʻE ʻāsili ai ʻae mamahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻotua kehe: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu ʻoe toto ʻe ʻikai te u ʻatu, pe toʻo hake honau ngaahi hingoa ki hoku loungutu.
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
Ko hono lelei ʻo hoku tofiʻa mo ʻeku ipu ʻa Sihova: ʻoku ke tauhi hoku talotalo.
6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
Kuo falō kiate au ʻae ngaahi afo ʻi he ngaahi potu matamatalelei; ʻio, kuo u maʻu ʻae tofiʻa lelei.
7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne akonakiʻi au: ko hoku kofuua foki ʻoku na akonakiʻi au ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu pō.
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Kuo u fokotuʻu maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ʻe ʻikai ai te u ngaue.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
Ko ia ʻoku fiefia ai hoku loto, pea nekeneka mo hoku ʻelelo: ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei.
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
Te ke fakahā kiate au ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui: ʻoku fonu ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao; ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi fiemālie ʻo taʻengata.
