< Psalms 86 >
1 A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
Ko e Lotu ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, ke ke fofonga mai, ʻo fanongo kiate au: he ʻoku ou masiva mo mamahi.
2 Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.
Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie; he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni: ʻa koe ko hoku ʻOtua, fakamoʻui hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku falala kiate koe.
3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.
ʻE ʻEiki, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au: he ʻoku ou tangi kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
ʻE ʻEiki, fakafiefiaʻi ʻae laumālie ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: he ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
5 For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.
He ko koe, ʻE ʻEiki ʻoku ke angalelei, pea faʻa fakamolemole; pea mohu ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ui kiate koe.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.
Fanongo, ʻE Sihova, ki heʻeku lotu pea tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu.
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.
ʻI he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mamahi te u ui kiate koe; he te ke talia au.
8 There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.
ʻE ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoku tatau mo koe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ngāue ʻe hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi ngāue.
9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy name.
ʻE ʻEiki, ʻe haʻu ʻo hū ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻa ke ngaohi; pea tenau fakaongoongoleleiʻi ho huafa.
10 For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone.
He ʻoku ke lahi, pea ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana: ko koe pē ko e ʻOtua.
11 Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name.
ʻE Sihova, ako kiate au ho hala; te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni: ngaohi ke taha pē hoku loto ke manavahē ki ho huafa.
12 I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.
ʻE ʻEiki ko hoku ʻOtua, te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa: pea te u fakaongoongolelei ho huafa ʻo taʻengata.
13 For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world. (Sheol )
He ʻoku lahi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kiate au: pea kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he loto heli. (Sheol )
14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them.
ʻE ʻOtua, kuo tuʻu hake kiate au ʻae kau fielahi, pea naʻe kumi hoku laumālie ʻe he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kau fakamālohi; pea ʻoku ʻikai tenau fokotuʻu ʻa hoʻo ʻafio ʻi honau ʻao.
15 But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Ka ko koe, ʻE ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua ʻoku fonu ʻi he manavaʻofa, mo e angalelei, ʻoku ke kātaki fuoloa, pea mohu ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
16 O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.
Ke ke tafoki mai kiate au, pea ʻaloʻofa kiate au; foaki ho mālohi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea fakamoʻui ʻae tama ʻa hoʻo kaunanga.
17 Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
Fakahā kiate au ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe lelei; koeʻuhi ke mamata ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, pea mā ai: koeʻuhi kuo ke tokoniʻi au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo fakafiemālieʻi au.
