Psalms 91

1 Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu lilo ʻi he fungani māʻolunga, ʻe nofomaʻu ia he malumalu ʻoe Māfimafi.

2 He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

Te u pehē, “Ko Sihova, ko hoku hūfanga ia mo ʻeku kolo: ko hoku ʻOtua te u falala kiate ia.”

3 For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

Ko e moʻoni te ne fakamoʻui koe mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele, pea mei he mahaki fakaʻauha.

4 He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.

Te ne ʻōʻōfaki koe ʻaki hono fulufulu, pea te ke falala ki hono lalo kapakau: ko ʻene moʻoni ko ho fakaū mo ho pā ia.

5 You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koeʻuhi ko e meʻa fakailifia ʻi he pō; pe koeʻuhi ko e ngahau ʻoku puna atu ʻi he ʻaho;

6 [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

Pe koeʻuhi ko e mahaki lahi ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli; pe koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha ʻoku fakaʻosiʻosi ʻi he hoʻatā.

7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

‌ʻE tō ʻae toko afe ʻi ho tafaʻaki, pea ko e toko mano ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ka ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ʻo ofi kiate koe.

8 Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.

Ka te ke vakai ʻo mamata ʻaki ho mata ki he totongi ʻoe angahala.

9 For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.

Koeʻuhi kuo ke fili ʻa Sihova ʻaia ko hoku hūfanga, ʻio, ko e fungani māʻolunga ko ho nofoʻanga:

10 No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.

‌ʻE ʻikai tō ha kovi kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ha mamahi fakaʻauha ke ofi ki ho nofoʻanga.

11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.

He te ne fekau ʻene kau ʻāngelo kenau vakai koe, ke tauhi koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē.

12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

Tenau hapai hake koe ʻi he nima, telia naʻa tūkia ho vaʻe ki ha maka.

13 You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.

Te ke molomoloki ʻae laione mo e ngata: ko e laione mui mo e talākoni te ke malaki hifo ia.

14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

“Koeʻuhi kuo ne tuku ʻene ʻofa kiate au, ko ia te u fakamoʻui ia: te u fokotuʻu ia ke māʻolunga, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻiloʻi hoku huafa.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

Te ne ui kiate au, pea te u talia ia: te u ʻiate ia ʻi he mamahi; te u fakamoʻui ia, pea hakeakiʻi ia.

16 I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.

Te u fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ia ʻae moʻui fuoloa, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻeku fakamoʻui.”
