Psalms 77

1 For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.

Ki he Takimuʻa ko Situtuni, ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. Naʻa ku tangi ki he ʻOtua ʻaki hoku leʻo; ʻio, ki he ʻOtua ʻaki hoku leʻo pea ne tokanga kiate au.

2 In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mamahi naʻaku kumi ki he ʻEiki: naʻe aʻu pe ʻeku mamahi ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻikai tuku: naʻe liʻaki ʻe hoku laumālie ʻae fakafiemālie.

3 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)

Naʻaku manatu ki he ʻOtua, pea u mamahi ai: naʻaku fakalaulauloto, pea naʻe lōmekina hoku laumālie. (Sila)

4 All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.

‌ʻOku ke pule ke ʻā hoku mata: ʻoku lahi ʻeku mamahi, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te u faʻa lea.

5 I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

Naʻaku fakamanatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa.

6 And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],

‌ʻOku ou fakamanatu, ki heʻeku hiva ʻi he poʻuli: ʻoku ou fakakaukau mo hoku loto: pea naʻe ʻeke lahi ʻa hoku laumālie.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

“ʻE liʻaki maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova? Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe finangalo ʻofa mai?

8 Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

Kuo mole ʻaupito ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa? Pe kuo taʻehoko ʻene talaʻofa ki he toʻutangata mo e toʻutangata?

9 Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)

Kuo ngalo ʻi he ʻOtua ke fai ʻofa? Kuo ne tāpuni ʻi he houhau ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua?” (Sila)

10 And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

Pea ne u pehē, “Ko ʻeku vaivai eni ka te u manatu ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoe nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga.”

11 I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.

Te u manatu ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova: ko e moʻoni te u manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi mana ʻi muʻa.

12 And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.

Te u fakalaulauloto foki ki hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē, ʻo talanoa ki hoʻo ngaahi faianga.

13 O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?

‌ʻE ʻOtua, ko ho hala ʻoku ʻi he faletapu: ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko hotau ʻOtua!

14 You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations.

Ko koe ko e ʻOtua ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo: kuo ke fakahā ho mālohi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai.

15 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)

Naʻa ke huhuʻi ʻaki ho nima ʻa ho kakai, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope mo Siosefa. (Sila)

16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled.

Naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi vai, ʻE ʻOtua, naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi vai; pea naʻa nau manavahē: naʻe ngaueue foki ʻae ngaahi loloto.

17 [There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.

Naʻe lilingi ʻae vai ʻe he ngaahi ʻao: naʻe fakaʻuʻulu mei he langi ʻae longoaʻa: pea naʻe puna foki hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ki he mamaʻo.

18 The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.

Naʻe ʻi he langi ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻo mana: naʻe fakamaama ʻaki ʻa māmani ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila: naʻe tetetete mo ngalulu ʻae fonua.

19 Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known.

Ko ho hala ʻoku ʻi he tahi, mo ho hāʻeleʻanga ʻoku ʻi he vai lahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilonga ʻa ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

20 You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Naʻa ke tataki atu ho kakai ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese mo ʻElone.
