Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fanongo ki heʻeku tangi; tokanga ki heʻeku lotu.

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Te u tangi kiate koe mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoka taʻomia hoku loto: ke ke tataki au ki he maka ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate au.

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

He naʻa ke hoko ko hoku ungakiʻi, ko e fale māʻolunga pea mālohi ki he fili.

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

Te u nofomaʻu ʻi ho fale fehikitaki ʻo taʻengata: te u falala ki he malu ʻo ho kapakau. (Sila)

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

He kuo ke fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava, ʻE ʻOtua: kuo ke foaki kiate au ʻae tofiʻa ʻokinautolu ʻoku manavahē ki ho huafa.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

Te ke fakatolonga ʻae moʻui ʻae tuʻi, mo hono ngaahi taʻu ʻo hangē mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

‌ʻE nofomaʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua taʻengata: ke ke teuteu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni ʻaia te na fakamoʻui ia. Ko ia te u hiva fakamālō ai ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

Ko ia te u hiva fakamālō ai ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
