Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae haohaoa ʻi he hala, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
2 Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, pea kumi kiate ia ʻaki honau loto kotoa pē.
3 For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.
ʻOku ʻikai foki tenau fai ha kovi: ʻoku nau ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.
4 Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.
Kuo ke fekau mai ke mau tauhi maʻu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
5 O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.
ʻOku ʻamusiaange ʻeau kuo fakahinohino ki hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
6 Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā, ʻo kau ka tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he angatonu ʻoe loto, ʻo kau ka ʻilo hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
8 I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.
Te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻoua naʻa ke siʻaki ʻaupito au.
9 BETH. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.
ʻE fakamaʻa ʻe he tangata talavou hono hala ʻi he hā? ʻI heʻene tokanga ki ai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
10 With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
Kuo u kumi kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
11 Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.
Kuo u fufū hoʻo folofola ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku angahala kiate koe.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo ʻafio: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
13 With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.
Kuo u fakahā ʻaki hoku loungutu, ʻae ngaahi fakamaau kotoa pē ʻa ho fofonga.
14 I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
Naʻaku fiefia ʻi hono ʻalunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa pē.
15 I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways.
Te u fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki, pea te u tokanga ki ho ngaahi hala.
16 I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.
Te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo folofola.
17 GIMEL. Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.
Foaki ke lahi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui, pea te u tauhi ki hoʻo folofola.
18 Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
Ke ke fakaʻā hoku mata, koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi hoʻo fono.
19 I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
Ko e muli au ʻi māmani: ʻoua naʻa fufū hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻiate au.
20 My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
ʻOku mafesi hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko ʻene holi ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
Kuo ke valokiʻi ʻae laukau, ʻakinautolu ʻoku malaʻia, ʻaia kuo hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
22 Remove from reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
ʻAve ʻiate au ʻae taukaea mo e manukia; he kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
23 For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
Naʻe nofo foki ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo lauʻikoviʻi au: ka naʻe fakalauloto ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
24 For thy testimonies are my (meditation) and thy justifications my counsel.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni foki ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia, mo hoku ngaahi akonakiʻi.
25 DALETH. My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word.
ʻOku pikitai ʻa hoku laumālie ki he efu: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: teach me thy justifications.
Kuo u fakahā hoku ngaahi hala, pea naʻa ke ongoʻi au: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.
Ngaohi au ke u ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: pea te u lea ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
28 My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words.
Kuo vai ʻa hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko e ongosia: fakamālohiʻi au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
29 Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me.
Ke ke hiki ʻiate au ʻae hala ʻoe loi, pea ke tuku mai hoʻo fono kiate au ʻi he ʻofa.
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten.
Kuo u fili ʻae hala ʻoe moʻoni: pea kuo u fokotuʻu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi hoku ʻao.
31 I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.
Kuo u pikitai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni; ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaaʻi au.
32 I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
Te u lele ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻoka ke ka fakaʻataʻatā hoku loto.
33 HE. Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.
ʻE Sihova, ke ke ako kiate au ʻae hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; pea te u fai ki ai ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
34 Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.
Foaki mai kiate au ʻae faʻa ʻilo, pea te u fai ki hoʻo fono; ʻio, te u tokanga ki ai ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē.
35 Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.
Ngaohi au ke u ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau; he ʻoku ou fiefia ai.
36 Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
Fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, kae ʻikai ki he manumanu.
37 Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.
Taʻofi hoku mata mei he vakai ki he meʻa vaʻinga; pea ke fakaakeake au ʻi ho hala.
38 Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.
Fakamoʻoni hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa kiate koe.
39 Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.
Taʻofi atu hoku manukia ʻaia ʻoku ou manavahē ai: he ʻoku lelei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
40 Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.
Vakai, ʻoku ou holi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: fakamoʻui au ʻi ho māʻoniʻoni.
41 VAU. Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.
ʻE Sihova, tuku ke hoko foki hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻio, ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
42 So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
Pehē te u maʻu ha meʻa ke tali ʻaki kiate ia ʻoku manukiʻi au: he ʻoku ou falala ki hoʻo folofola.
43 And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.
Pea ʻoua naʻa toʻo ʻaupito ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni mei hoku ngutu; he kuo u ʻamanaki lelei ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
44 So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.
Pea te u fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo fono ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
45 And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
Pea te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi he tauʻatāina: he ʻoku ou kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
46 And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.
Te u lea foki ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā ai.
47 I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.
Pea te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u ʻofa ki ai.
48 And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.
Te u hiki hake foki hoku nima ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u ʻofa ki ai pea te u fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
49 ZAIN. Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
Manatuʻi ʻae folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo ke fakaʻamanakiʻi au ki ai.
50 This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.
Ko hoku fiemālieʻanga eni ʻi heʻeku mamahi: he ko hoʻo folofola kuo ne fakamoʻui au.
51 The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.
Kuo manuki lahi kiate au ʻae laukau: ka naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo fono.
52 I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
ʻE Sihova, naʻaku manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi muʻa; pea u fakafiemālieʻi au.
53 A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
Kuo pukea au ʻe he ilifia koeʻuhi ko e angahala kuo nau siʻaki hoʻo fono.
54 Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko ʻeku hiva ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku ʻāunofo.
55 In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u manatu ki ho huafa ʻi he pō, pea u fai ki hoʻo fono.
56 This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.
Naʻaku maʻu eni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
57 HETH. O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law.
ʻE Sihova, ko hoku ʻinasi ʻa koe: naʻaku pehē te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi folofola.
58 I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.
Naʻaku kole ki hoʻo ʻofa ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
59 I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
Naʻaku fifili ki hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga, pea u fakaafe hoku vaʻe ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
60 I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.
Ne u fakatoʻotoʻo, pea ʻikai tuai, ʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
61 The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
Kuo kaihaʻasia au ʻe he ngaahi kaihaʻakau ʻoe kau angahala: ka naʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au ʻa hoʻo fono.
62 I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.
Te u tuʻu hake ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie ke fakafetaʻi kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
63 I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.
ʻOku ou kaumeʻa mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
65 TETH. Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fie fai lelei ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
66 Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
Ke ke ako kiate au ʻae fakamaau lelei mo e faʻa ʻilo: he ʻoku ou tui ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
67 Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.
ʻI he teʻeki ai te u mahaki naʻaku hē: ka ko eni kuo u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
68 Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
ʻOku ke angalelei, pea ʻoku ke fai lelei; ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
69 The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
Kuo fakatupu ʻe he fielahi ʻae loi kiate au: ka te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē.
70 Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
ʻOku tatau honau loto mo e ngako, ka ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻo fono.
71 It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.
Kuo ʻaonga kiate au ʻa hoku mahaki; koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
72 The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
ʻOku lelei lahi kiate au ʻae fono ʻaho fofonga ʻi he ngaahi afe ʻoe kuonga koula mo e siliva.
73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
Ko ho nima naʻa ne ngaohi au mo fakatonutonu: foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
74 They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe tenau fiefia ʻoka nau ka mamata kiate au; koeʻuhi naʻaku ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, pea ʻi he angatonu kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au.
76 O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my (meditation)
Tuku ke hoko kiate au hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ai: he ko hoʻo fono ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
78 Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments.
Tuku ke mā ʻae fielahi; he naʻa Tuku ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu kuo nau ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
79 Let them that fear thee turn to me and they that know thy testimonies.
Tuku ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu kuo nau ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
80 Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded.
Tuku ke haohaoa hoku loto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku mā ai.
81 CAPH. My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.
ʻOku pongia hoku laumālie ʻi he fiemaʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui: ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
82 My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo folofola, ʻoku ou pehē, “Te ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻafē?”
83 For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
He kuo u hoko ʻo tatau mo e hina ʻi he ʻohuafi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
84 How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
ʻOku fiha ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? Te ke fakamaau ʻafē ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au?
85 The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.
Kuo keli ʻe he fielahi ʻae ngaahi luo kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tatau mo hoʻo fono.
86 All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
ʻOku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē: ʻoku taʻetotonu ʻenau fakatangaʻi au; ke ke tokoniʻi au,
87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
Naʻa nau meimei fakaʻauha au ʻi māmani ka naʻe ʻikai te u siʻaki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
88 Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
Fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; ko ia te u tauhi ai ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻa ho fofonga.
89 LAMED. For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo folofola ʻi he langi ʻo lauikuonga.
90 Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
ʻOku aʻu atu hoʻo moʻoni ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē: kuo ke fokotuʻu ʻa māmani, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ia.
91 By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
ʻOku nau tolonga he ʻaho ni ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
92 Unless thy law had been my (meditation) I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
Ka ne ʻikai ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ʻa hoʻo fono, pehē, ne u mate ʻi hoku mahaki.
93 Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.
ʻE ʻikai siʻi ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻo lauikuonga: he ko ia kuo ke fakamoʻui ai au.
94 I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.
ʻOku ʻaʻau au, ke ke fakamoʻui au he kuo u kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies.
Kuo tatali ʻae angahala kiate au ke tāmateʻi au: ka te u fifili ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
96 I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
Kuo u mamata ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe haohaoa kotoa pē: ka ʻoku laulahi ʻaupito ʻa hoʻo fekau.
97 MEM. O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
ʻOku ou ʻofa lahi ki hoʻo fono: ʻoku ou fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
98 Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.
Kuo ke ngaohi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau ke u poto hake ʻi hoku ngaahi fili: he ʻoku ʻiate au maʻuaipē ia.
99 I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my (meditation)
ʻOku ou poto lahi hake ʻi heʻeku kau akonaki kotoa pē: he ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku fakakaukauʻanga ia.
100 I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.
ʻOku ou ʻilo lahi hake ʻi he kau mātuʻa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou tauhi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.
Naʻaku taʻofi hoku vaʻe mei he hala kovi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
102 I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.
Naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau: he kuo ke akonakiʻi au.
103 How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
ʻOku huʻamelie lahi hoʻo ngaahi folofola ki hoku ifo! ʻIo, ʻoku melie lahi ʻi he hone ki hoku ngutu!
104 By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.
ʻOku ou maʻu ʻae poto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: ko ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ai ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
Ko hoʻo folofola ko e tūhulu ia ki hoku vaʻe, mo e maama ki hoku hala.
106 I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.
Kuo u fuakava, pea te u fai ki ai, ke u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
107 I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.
ʻOku lahi ʻaupito hoku mahaki: fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
108 The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau loto lelei ʻa hoku ngutu, pea ke ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
109 My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.
ʻOku ʻi hoku nima maʻuaipē ʻa ʻeku moʻui: ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo fono.
110 Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.
Kuo ʻai ʻe he angahala ʻae tauhele kiate au: ka naʻe ʻikai te u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
111 I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.
Kuo u maʻu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku tofiʻa ʻo lauikuonga: he ko e fiefiaʻanga ia ʻo hoku loto.
112 I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.
Kuo u fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ke fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
113 SAMECH. I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he ngaahi mahalo kovi: ka ʻoku ou ʻofa ki hoʻo fono.
114 Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped.
Ko koe ko hoku toitoiʻanga, mo hoku fakaū; ʻoku ou ʻamanaki lelei ʻi hoʻo folofola.
115 Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God.
ʻAlu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fai kovi: he te u fai ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa hoku ʻOtua.
116 Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation.
Poupou hake au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ai. Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u mā ʻi heʻeku ʻamanaki.
117 Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications.
Ke ke poupou hake au, pea te u hao ai: pea te u tokanga maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
118 Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.
Kuo ke malaki hifo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hē mei hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko ʻenau kākā ko e loi ia.
119 I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
ʻOku ke siʻaki ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻo hangē ko e ʻotoʻota: ko ia ʻoku ou ʻofa ai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
120 Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.
ʻOku tetetete hoku kakano ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku manavahē kiate koe; pea ʻoku ou manavahē ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.
Kuo u fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu: ʻoua naʻa tukuange au ki he kau fakamālohi kiate au.
122 Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.
Ke ke hoko ko e ungakiʻi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke u lelei ai; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke taʻomia au ʻe he fielahi.
123 My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea mo e folofola ʻo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
124 Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.
Fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
125 I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au; foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
126 It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.
ʻE Sihova, kuo hoko ʻae kuonga ke ke ngāue ai: he kuo nau fakataʻeʻaongaʻi hoʻo fono.
127 Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.
Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi hake ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻi he koula; ʻio, ʻi he koula lelei.
128 Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.
Ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
129 PHE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them.
ʻOku fakamanavahē hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: ko ia ʻoku fai ki ai ʻa hoku laumālie.
130 The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.
Ko e hū loto ʻa hoʻo ngaahi folofola ʻoku foaki ai ʻae maama; ʻoku ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae poto ki he taʻekākā.
