Psalms 33
1 Let those who do good shout for joy—those who live right should praise him!
Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
2 Praise the Lord with the lyre, play music to him on the ten-stringed harp.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
3 Sing a new song to him; play your instruments well and shout for joy.
Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
4 For the word of the Lord is true, and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
5 He loves all that is good and right; the earth is full of the Lord's trustworthy love.
ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
6 The Lord spoke the word and the heavens were made; his mouth breathed all the stars into existence.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together, he keeps the ocean depths in store.
ʻOku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae vai ʻoe tahi ʻo hangē ko e tafungofunga: ʻoku ne faʻoaki ʻae moana ʻi he ngaahi feleoko.
8 Let all the earth show reverence to the Lord; let all the world's inhabitants be in awe of him.
Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
9 For he spoke and the world came into existence; he gave the command and it was created.
He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
10 The Lord foils the decisions of the nations, he frustrates the plans of the peoples,
ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
11 But the Lord's plan stands forever—what he decides lasts for all generations.
Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as specially belonging to him.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ko ia ʻoku ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova; pea mo e kakai kuo ne fili ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
13 The Lord looks from heaven and sees the whole of humanity,
ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
14 from his throne he watches all those who live on earth.
Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
15 He created their minds, so he knows everything they do.
ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
16 Even the greatest army cannot save a king; the greatest strength cannot save a warrior.
ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
17 Don't deceive yourself: a warhorse can't give you victory—even its incredible strength won't save you.
Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
18 The Lord watches over those who reverently follow him, those who place their hope in his trustworthy love
Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
19 to save them from death and to keep them alive when famine strikes.
Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
20 We place our confidence in the Lord; he is our help and our defender.
ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
21 We are so happy about him, for we trust in his holy character.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
22 Lord, let your trustworthy love rest upon us as we hope in you.
ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
