Psalms 119
1 Aleph Happy are those who do what is right, who follow what the Lord says.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae haohaoa ʻi he hala, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
2 Happy are those who keep his commandments, who sincerely want to follow him.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, pea kumi kiate ia ʻaki honau loto kotoa pē.
3 They don't do what's wrong; they walk in his ways.
ʻOku ʻikai foki tenau fai ha kovi: ʻoku nau ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.
4 You have ordered us to follow your instructions carefully.
Kuo ke fekau mai ke mau tauhi maʻu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
5 May I be reliable in the way I keep your rules!
ʻOku ʻamusiaange ʻeau kuo fakahinohino ki hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
6 Then I won't be ashamed when I compare what I do to what you have said.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā, ʻo kau ka tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
7 I will praise you sincerely as I learn from you the right way to live.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he angatonu ʻoe loto, ʻo kau ka ʻilo hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
8 I will observe your laws. Please never give up on me!
Te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻoua naʻa ke siʻaki ʻaupito au.
9 Beth How does a young person remain pure? By following what you say.
ʻE fakamaʻa ʻe he tangata talavou hono hala ʻi he hā? ʻI heʻene tokanga ki ai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
10 I worship you sincerely; please don't let me stray from your commands.
Kuo u kumi kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
11 I keep what you say in mind so I won't sin against you.
Kuo u fufū hoʻo folofola ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku angahala kiate koe.
12 Thank you Lord! Teach me what to do!
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo ʻafio: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
13 I repeat out loud your instructions.
Kuo u fakahā ʻaki hoku loungutu, ʻae ngaahi fakamaau kotoa pē ʻa ho fofonga.
14 I enjoy your laws more than having plenty of money.
Naʻaku fiefia ʻi hono ʻalunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa pē.
15 I will think deeply about your teachings, and reflect on your ways.
Te u fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki, pea te u tokanga ki ho ngaahi hala.
16 I will take pleasure in following your directions; I won't forget what you say.
Te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo folofola.
17 Gimel Be kind to your servant so I can live and follow what you teach.
Foaki ke lahi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui, pea te u tauhi ki hoʻo folofola.
18 Open my eyes so I may discover wonderful things in your law.
Ke ke fakaʻā hoku mata, koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi hoʻo fono.
19 I'm only here for a short time—don't let me miss what you have to say.
Ko e muli au ʻi māmani: ʻoua naʻa fufū hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻiate au.
20 I'm always so keen to know your instructions.
ʻOku mafesi hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko ʻene holi ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
21 You reprimand those who are arrogant; those who don't follow your commandments are cursed.
Kuo ke valokiʻi ʻae laukau, ʻakinautolu ʻoku malaʻia, ʻaia kuo hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
22 Don't let me be scorned and insulted, for I have kept your laws.
ʻAve ʻiate au ʻae taukaea mo e manukia; he kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
23 Even leaders sit down together and slander me, but I, your servant, will think seriously about your instructions.
Naʻe nofo foki ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo lauʻikoviʻi au: ka naʻe fakalauloto ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
24 Your laws make me happy—they are my wise advisors.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni foki ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia, mo hoku ngaahi akonakiʻi.
25 I'm dying here, lying in the dust. Keep me alive as you promised.
ʻOku pikitai ʻa hoku laumālie ki he efu: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
26 I explained my situation to you, and you answered me. Teach me to follow your directions.
Kuo u fakahā hoku ngaahi hala, pea naʻa ke ongoʻi au: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
27 Help me understand what your laws mean, and I will meditate on the wonderful things you do.
Ngaohi au ke u ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: pea te u lea ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
28 I'm weeping because I'm so sad; please encourage me as you promised.
Kuo vai ʻa hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko e ongosia: fakamālohiʻi au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
29 Stop me fooling myself; kindly teach me your law.
Ke ke hiki ʻiate au ʻae hala ʻoe loi, pea ke tuku mai hoʻo fono kiate au ʻi he ʻofa.
30 I have chosen to trust in you. I always pay attention to what you say.
Kuo u fili ʻae hala ʻoe moʻoni: pea kuo u fokotuʻu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi hoku ʻao.
31 I hold on to your teachings, Lord. Don't let me be ridiculed.
Kuo u pikitai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni; ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaaʻi au.
32 I run to follow your commands, for you have expanded my mind!
Te u lele ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻoka ke ka fakaʻataʻatā hoku loto.
33 He Teach me the meaning of your laws, and I will always keep them.
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 Help me to understand so I can be totally committed to doing what you want.
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 to follow your commands, for this is what I love to do
Ngaohi au ke u ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau; he ʻoku ou fiefia ai.
36 Help me to concentrate on what you say rather than on making a profit.
Fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, kae ʻikai ki he manumanu.
37 Don't let me focus on things that are worthless. Help me live in your ways.
Taʻofi hoku mata mei he vakai ki he meʻa vaʻinga; pea ke fakaakeake au ʻi ho hala.
38 Please keep your promise to me, your servant, that you made to those who worship you.
Fakamoʻoni hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa kiate koe.
39 Take away the shame I dread, for your law is good.
Taʻofi atu hoku manukia ʻaia ʻoku ou manavahē ai: he ʻoku lelei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
40 I always want to do what you say. Please let me live, for you do what is right.
Vakai, ʻoku ou holi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: fakamoʻui au ʻi ho māʻoniʻoni.
41 Waw Lord, please love me with your trustworthy love; please give me the salvation you promised.
ʻE Sihova, tuku ke hoko foki hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻio, ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
42 Then I can reply to those who mock me, for I trust what you say.
Pehē te u maʻu ha meʻa ke tali ʻaki kiate ia ʻoku manukiʻi au: he ʻoku ou falala ki hoʻo folofola.
43 Don't ever prevent me from being able to speak your words of truth, for I place my complete confidence in your just judgments.
Pea ʻoua naʻa toʻo ʻaupito ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni mei hoku ngutu; he kuo u ʻamanaki lelei ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
44 I will continue to follow your teachings, forever and ever.
Pea te u fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo fono ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
45 I shall live in freedom, for I have committed myself to obeying you.
Pea te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi he tauʻatāina: he ʻoku ou kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
46 I will instruct kings about your laws—I won't be embarrassed.
Te u lea foki ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā ai.
47 I'm so happy for your instructions. I love them!
Pea te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u ʻofa ki ai.
48 I lift up my hands in prayer, honoring your commandments. I will think deeply about all you say.
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 Zayin Remember your promise to me, your servant. It's my only hope.
Manatuʻi ʻae folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo ke fakaʻamanakiʻi au ki ai.
50 This is what brings me encouragement in my misery—your promise keeps me going!
Ko hoku fiemālieʻanga eni ʻi heʻeku mamahi: he ko hoʻo folofola kuo ne fakamoʻui au.
51 Arrogant people mock me terribly, but I don't give up on your teachings.
Kuo manuki lahi kiate au ʻae laukau: ka naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo fono.
52 I think about the instructions you gave long ago, Lord, and they reassure me.
ʻE Sihova, naʻaku manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi muʻa; pea u fakafiemālieʻi au.
53 I am angry with the wicked because they have rejected your law.
Kuo pukea au ʻe he ilifia koeʻuhi ko e angahala kuo nau siʻaki hoʻo fono.
54 Your instructions have been music to my ears wherever I have lived.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko ʻeku hiva ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku ʻāunofo.
55 At night I think about the kind of person you are, Lord, and do what you say.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u manatu ki ho huafa ʻi he pō, pea u fai ki hoʻo fono.
56 For this is how I live my life—by following your principles.
Naʻaku maʻu eni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
57 Heth Lord, you are mine! I have promised to do as you say.
ʻE Sihova, ko hoku ʻinasi ʻa koe: naʻaku pehē te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi folofola.
58 My whole being wants your blessing—please be kind to me, as you have promised!
Naʻaku kole ki hoʻo ʻofa ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
59 As I think about my life, I turn to follow what you have said.
Naʻaku fifili ki hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga, pea u fakaafe hoku vaʻe ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
60 I hurry to keep your commandments without delay
Ne u fakatoʻotoʻo, pea ʻikai tuai, ʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
61 Even though wicked people try to tie me up, I won't forget your instructions.
Kuo kaihaʻasia au ʻe he ngaahi kaihaʻakau ʻoe kau angahala: ka naʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au ʻa hoʻo fono.
62 I get up in the middle of the night to thank you for your good laws.
Te u tuʻu hake ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie ke fakafetaʻi kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
63 I identify with all those who follow you, those who do what you tell them.
ʻOku ou kaumeʻa mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
64 Lord, you love everyone on earth; please teach me what to do.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
65 Teth Lord, you have been so good to me, your servant, as you have promised.
ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fie fai lelei ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
66 Now teach me wise judgment and discernment because I believe in your instructions.
Ke ke ako kiate au ʻae fakamaau lelei mo e faʻa ʻilo: he ʻoku ou tui ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
67 Previously I was suffering, wandering away from you, but now I do what you say.
ʻI he teʻeki ai te u mahaki naʻaku hē: ka ko eni kuo u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
68 Since you are good, everything you do is good. Teach me your ways.
ʻOku ke angalelei, pea ʻoku ke fai lelei; ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
69 Arrogant people smear my reputation with lies; but I whole-heartedly follow your commands.
Kuo fakatupu ʻe he fielahi ʻae loi kiate au: ka te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē.
70 They are cold and unfeeling, but I love your law.
ʻOku tatau honau loto mo e ngako, ka ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻo fono.
71 The suffering I went through was good for me, so I could think about what you have stipulated.
Kuo ʻaonga kiate au ʻa hoku mahaki; koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
72 What you tell me to do is worth more to me than much gold and silver.
ʻOku lelei lahi kiate au ʻae fono ʻaho fofonga ʻi he ngaahi afe ʻoe kuonga koula mo e siliva.
73 Yodh You created me and made me what I am; help me to learn and better understand your commandments.
Ko ho nima naʻa ne ngaohi au mo fakatonutonu: foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
74 May those who worship you be happy when they see me, for I place my confidence in your word.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe tenau fiefia ʻoka nau ka mamata kiate au; koeʻuhi naʻaku ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
75 Lord, I know that what you decide is right; you brought me down in order to help me because you are trustworthy.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, pea ʻi he angatonu kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au.
76 May your trustworthy love comfort me as your promised me, your servant.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
77 Be compassionate to me so I may live, for I love your teachings.
Tuku ke hoko kiate au hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ai: he ko hoʻo fono ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
78 Bring down those proud people who wronged me with their lies. I will spend time thinking about your instructions.
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 those who follow you turn to me, those who understand your laws.
Tuku ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu kuo nau ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
80 May I be innocent in the way I keep your rules so that I won't be ashamed.
Tuku ke haohaoa hoku loto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku mā ai.
81 Kaph I'm exhausted waiting for you to save me, but my hope is in your word.
ʻOku pongia hoku laumālie ʻi he fiemaʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui: ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
82 I strain my eyes looking for you to keep your promises, asking “When will you comfort me?”
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo folofola, ʻoku ou pehē, “Te ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻafē?”
83 I've become like a wineskin that's been shriveled up by smoke, but I have not forgotten to do as you say.
He kuo u hoko ʻo tatau mo e hina ʻi he ʻohuafi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
84 How long do I have to wait before you punish my persecutors?
ʻOku fiha ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? Te ke fakamaau ʻafē ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au?
85 These arrogant people have dug pits to trap me, these people who don't care anything about your law.
Kuo keli ʻe he fielahi ʻae ngaahi luo kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tatau mo hoʻo fono.
86 All your commands are trustworthy. Help me against these people who persecute me with their lies!
ʻOku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē: ʻoku taʻetotonu ʻenau fakatangaʻi au; ke ke tokoniʻi au,
87 They have almost killed me, but I have not given up on what you say.
Naʻa nau meimei fakaʻauha au ʻi māmani ka naʻe ʻikai te u siʻaki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
88 Since you love me with your trustworthy love, don't let me die, so I can go on following the instructions you have given.
Fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; ko ia te u tauhi ai ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻa ho fofonga.
89 Lamedh Your word, Lord, lasts forever. It stands firm in the heavens.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo folofola ʻi he langi ʻo lauikuonga.
90 Your faithfulness lasts for all generations, as permanent as the earth you created.
ʻOku aʻu atu hoʻo moʻoni ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē: kuo ke fokotuʻu ʻa māmani, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ia.
91 Your judgments stand—they are as true today as ever—for everything serves your will.
ʻOku nau tolonga he ʻaho ni ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
92 If I didn't love your teachings, my suffering would have killed me.
Ka ne ʻikai ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ʻa hoʻo fono, pehē, ne u mate ʻi hoku mahaki.
93 I will never forget your instructions, for through them you give me life.
ʻE ʻikai siʻi ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻo lauikuonga: he ko ia kuo ke fakamoʻui ai au.
94 I belong to you, so please save me! I am committed to following your rules.
ʻOku ʻaʻau au, ke ke fakamoʻui au he kuo u kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
95 Even though wicked people are waiting to ambush and kill me, I will focus my mind on what you say.
Kuo tatali ʻae angahala kiate au ke tāmateʻi au: ka te u fifili ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
96 I recognize that human perfection has its limits, but your law is limitless.
Kuo u mamata ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe haohaoa kotoa pē: ka ʻoku laulahi ʻaupito ʻa hoʻo fekau.
97 Mem I really love your law! I meditate on it all day long.
ʻOku ou ʻofa lahi ki hoʻo fono: ʻoku ou fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for I'm always thinking about your instructions.
Kuo ke ngaohi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau ke u poto hake ʻi hoku ngaahi fili: he ʻoku ʻiate au maʻuaipē ia.
99 In fact I have a better insight than all of my teachers because I spend time concentrating on what you say.
ʻOku ou poto lahi hake ʻi heʻeku kau akonaki kotoa pē: he ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku fakakaukauʻanga ia.
100 I even understand more than the elders because I follow your directions.
ʻOku ou ʻilo lahi hake ʻi he kau mātuʻa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou tauhi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
101 I avoid any course of action that leads to evil, because I want to remain faithful to your word.
Naʻaku taʻofi hoku vaʻe mei he hala kovi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
102 I have not disregarded your instructions because you yourself taught me what to do.
Naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau: he kuo ke akonakiʻi au.
103 Your words taste so sweet to me! They are sweeter 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 I gain understanding from what you say, so I hate any way of life that's just a lie.
ʻOku ou maʻu ʻae poto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: ko ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ai ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
105 Nun Your word is a lamp that shows me where to walk, it's a light for my path.
Ko hoʻo folofola ko e tūhulu ia ki hoku vaʻe, mo e maama ki hoku hala.
106 I've made a promise, and I will keep it: I will keep your rules that are always right!
Kuo u fuakava, pea te u fai ki ai, ke u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
107 Lord, I'm really suffering! Please let me live, as you have promised.
ʻOku lahi ʻaupito hoku mahaki: fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
108 Lord, please accept my offerings of praise that I freely give you. Teach me your rules.
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 life is always at risk, but I will not forget your law.
ʻOku ʻi hoku nima maʻuaipē ʻa ʻeku moʻui: ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo fono.
110 Wicked people have set a trap for me, but I will not stray from your commandments.
Kuo ʻai ʻe he angahala ʻae tauhele kiate au: ka naʻe ʻikai te u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
111 I will always hold on to what you say for your words make me really happy,
Kuo u maʻu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku tofiʻa ʻo lauikuonga: he ko e fiefiaʻanga ia ʻo hoku loto.

Kuo u fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ke fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
113 Samekh I hate people who are two-faced, but I love your law.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he ngaahi mahalo kovi: ka ʻoku ou ʻofa ki hoʻo fono.
114 You keep me safe and you defend me, your word gives me reason to hope.
Ko koe ko hoku toitoiʻanga, mo hoku fakaū; ʻoku ou ʻamanaki lelei ʻi hoʻo folofola.
115 Leave me alone, you evil people, and let me keep the commandments of my God.
ʻAlu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fai kovi: he te u fai ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa hoku ʻOtua.
116 Support me, Lord, as you promised, so I can live. Don't let my hope turn into discouragement.
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 Support me, so I can be saved and always pay attention to your instructions.
Ke ke poupou hake au, pea te u hao ai: pea te u tokanga maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
118 You reject all those who don't follow your instructions—they're fooling themselves by living a lie.
Kuo ke malaki hifo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hē mei hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko ʻenau kākā ko e loi ia.
119 You treat the wicked people on earth as something worthless to be discarded; therefore I love your laws.
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 I have goose bumps thinking of you—I'm in awe! I'm scared of your judgments!
ʻOku tetetete hoku kakano ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku manavahē kiate koe; pea ʻoku ou manavahē ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
121 Ayin I have done what's fair and right, so please don't abandon me to my enemies.
Kuo u fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu: ʻoua naʻa tukuange au ki he kau fakamālohi kiate au.
122 Please promise you'll take care of me, your servant. Don't let these arrogant people mistreat me.
Ke ke hoko ko e ungakiʻi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke u lelei ai; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke taʻomia au ʻe he fielahi.
123 I strain my eyes looking for your salvation, watching for you to fulfill your promise to make everything good.
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea mo e folofola ʻo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
124 Please treat me, your servant, according to your trustworthy love. Teach me what you want me to do.
Fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
125 I am your servant. Please give me discernment so I can understand your instructions.
Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au; foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
126 Lord, it's time for you to act, for these people have broken your laws.
ʻE Sihova, kuo hoko ʻae kuonga ke ke ngāue ai: he kuo nau fakataʻeʻaongaʻi hoʻo fono.
127 This is why I love your commandments more than gold, more than the finest gold.
Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi hake ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻi he koula; ʻio, ʻi he koula lelei.
128 All of your rules are right in every way, and so I hate any way of life that's just a lie.
Ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
129 Pe Your laws are truly wonderful—that's why I keep them!
ʻOku fakamanavahē hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: ko ia ʻoku fai ki ai ʻa hoku laumālie.
130 Studying your words brings light so that even the uneducated can understand.
Ko e hū loto ʻa hoʻo ngaahi folofola ʻoku foaki ai ʻae maama; ʻoku ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae poto ki he taʻekākā.
131 With keen desire I long for what you have to say.
Ne u mafaʻa hoku ngutu, pea u holi he ʻoku ou feinga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
132 Please pay attention to me and be kind to me, as you are with those who love you.
Ke ke ʻafio mai kiate au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo faʻa fai kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki ho huafa.
133 Tell me by your word the way I should go, and don't let any kind of evil control me.
Tuʻutuʻuni ʻeku ngaahi laka ʻi hoʻo folofola: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke pule kiate au ha hia ʻe taha.
134 Save me from cruel people so I can follow your instructions.
Fakamoʻui au mei he fakamālohi ʻae tangata: pea te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
135 Please look favorably on me, your servant, teach me what I should do.
Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; pea ke ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
136 My tears stream down as I weep for those who don't keep your law.
ʻOku tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻi hoku mata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tenau tokanga ki hoʻo fono.
137 Tsadhe Lord, you are right, and what you decide is just!
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke angatonu, pea ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
138 You have given your instructions which are fair and totally trustworthy.
ʻOku māʻoniʻoni pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻaupito hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, ʻaia kuo ke fekau mai.
139 My devotion is burning me up inside because my enemies ignore your words.
Kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi heʻeku fai feinga, koeʻuhi kuo ngalo ʻi hoku ngaahi fili hoʻo ngaahi folofola.
140 Your promises have been proved true, and that's why I, your servant, love them.
ʻOku haohaoa ʻaupito hoʻo folofola: ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
141 I may be unimportant and looked down on, but I don't forget your commandments.
ʻOku ou siʻi au mo manukia: ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
142 Your goodness and justice last forever; and your law is the truth.
Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ko e māʻoniʻoni taʻengata, pea ko hoʻo fono ko e moʻoni ia.
143 When I have problems and sadness, your commands make me happy.
Kuo pukea au ʻe he mamahi mo e feinga: ka ko hoʻo ngaahi fekau ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
144 Your laws are always right; help me to understand what they mean so I can live.
ʻOku taʻengata ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: ke ke foaki mai ʻae poto, pea te u moʻui ai.
145 Qoph My whole being is crying out! Lord, please answer me! I will follow your instructions.
Naʻaku tangi ʻaki hoku loto kotoa; ke ke ongoʻi au, ʻE Sihova: te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
146 I pray to you, asking, “Please save me!” so I can do what you say.
Ne u tangi kiate koe; fakamoʻui au, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
147 I get up before dawn, and call out to you for help and put my hope in your word.
Naʻaku muʻomuʻa ʻi he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea u tangi: ne u ʻamanaki ʻi hoʻo folofola.
148 During the night I stay awake, meditating on your word.
ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻa hoku mata ki he ngaahi leʻo ʻoe pō, koeʻuhi ke u fakakaukau ki hoʻo folofola.
149 Listen to what I have to say, Lord, because of your trustworthy love. Keep me alive, Lord, because you always do what's right.
Ke ke fanongo ki hoku leʻo ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fakamaau.
150 Evil people come running to attack me—they totally disregard your law.
ʻOku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau angimui ki he kovi: ʻoku nau mamaʻo mei hoʻo fono.
151 But you, Lord, are close beside me; all your commandments are true.
ʻOku ke ofi mai, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻoku moʻoni hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
152 Long ago I realized that your laws will last forever.
Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, kuo fuoloa ʻeku ʻilo kuo ke fakamaau ia ʻo lauikuonga.
153 Resh Please look at my suffering and save me! I have not forgotten your teachings.
Ke ke tokanga ki hoku mahaki, pea ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo fono.
154 Plead my case, and save me as you promised! Let me live!
Ke ke fakamatala ʻeku meʻa, mo fakahaofi au: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
155 Wicked people can't be saved, because they don't care about what you say.
ʻOku mamaʻo ʻae fakamoʻui mei he angahala: he ʻoku ʻikai tenau kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
156 Lord, your mercy is so great! Because you are always fair, please let me live!
ʻOku lahi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua, ʻE Sihova: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
157 Despite the many people who persecute and mistreat me, I have not strayed from your laws.
ʻOku tokolahi hoku kau fakatanga mo hoku ngaahi fili; ka ʻoku ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
158 Watching these unfaithful people disgusts me because they take no notice of your word.
Naʻaku mamata ki he kau talangataʻa, pea u mamahi ai; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fai ki hoʻo folofola.
159 See how much I love your commandments, Lord. Please let me live because of your trustworthy love.
Ke ke ʻafio ki hono anga ʻo ʻeku ʻofa ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
160 Your word can be summed up in one word: truth! All of your just laws will last forever.
ʻOku moʻoni hoʻo folofola mei hono kamataʻanga: pea ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
161 Shin Leaders persecute me for no reason, but I am in awe only of your word.
Kuo fakatanga au taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki: ka ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa hoku loto ki hoʻo folofola.
162 Your word makes me so happy—I'm like someone who discovers immense treasure.
ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻo folofola, ʻo hangē ko e taha ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae koloa lahi.
163 I hate and detest lies, but I love your teachings.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa mo fākaliliʻa ki he loi: ka ʻoku ou ʻofa ki hoʻo fono.
164 I praise you seven times a day because your laws are good.
ʻOku ou fakamālō kiate koe ʻo liunga fitu ʻi he ʻaho, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
165 Those who love your teachings have wonderful peace and nothing trips them up.
ʻOku maʻu ʻae fiemālie lahi ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fono: pea ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa.
166 Lord, I look forward to your salvation. I keep your commandments.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻamanaki ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
167 I obey your laws and love them very much.
Kuo tauhi ʻe hoku laumālie ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni; pea ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi ʻaupito ki ai.
168 I keep your commandments and laws because you see everything I do.
Kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki mo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: he ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga kotoa pē.
169 Taw Lord, please listen to my sad cry; help me to understand, as you promised.
ʻE Sihova, tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku tangi ʻo ofi kiate koe: ke ke foaki mai ʻae poto ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
170 Please hear what I have to say to you, and save me, as you promised.
Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu ki ho ʻao: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
171 Let me pour out my words of praise, for you teach me what to do.
ʻE huaʻaki ʻe hoku loungutu ʻae fakamālō, ʻoka ke ka ako hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni kiate au.
172 I will sing about your word, for all your commandments are right.
ʻE lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻelelo hoʻo folofola: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
173 Please be ready to help me, for I have chosen to follow your instructions.
Ke tokoni au ʻe ho nima; he kuo u fili hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
174 I long for your salvation, Lord; your teachings make me happy.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou holi ki hoʻo fakamoʻui; pea ko hoʻo fono ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
175 May I live my life in praise to you, and may your instructions help me.
Tuku ke moʻui ʻa hoku laumālie, pea ʻe fakamālō ia kiate koe; pea ke tokoni au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
176 I have wandered away like a lost sheep, so please come looking for me, for I have not forgotten your commandments.
Naʻaku hē ʻo hangē ko e sipi kuo mole; ke ke kumi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
