< Psalms 146 >

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Fakamālō kia Sihova, ʻE hoku laumālie.
2 I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui: te u hiva fakamālō ki hoku ʻOtua ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
3 Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
‌ʻOua naʻa mou falala ki he ngaahi ʻeiki, pe ki he foha ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ʻiate ia.
4 When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.
‌ʻOku mole atu ʻene mānava, pea ʻoku foki ia ki he kelekele; ʻoku mole ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻene ngaahi mahalo.
5 [But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;
‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope ko hono tokoni, pea ko ʻene ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua:
6 Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
‌ʻAia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi, mo māmani, ʻae tahi mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: pea ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae moʻoni ʻo lauikuonga:
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;
‌ʻAia ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakamaau koeʻuhi ko e kakai fakamālohia: ʻoku ne foaki ʻae meʻakai ki he fiekaia. ʻOku vete ʻe Sihova ʻae kau pōpula:
8 The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:
‌ʻOku fakaʻā ʻe Sihova ʻae kui: ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu kuo mapelu ki lalo: ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he angatonu:
9 The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.
‌ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai muli; ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tamai mate mo e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti: ka ko e hala ʻoe angahala ʻoku ne fulihi ia.
10 The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
‌ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata, ʻio, ko ho ʻOtua, ʻE Saione, ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
