Psalms 33
1 Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.
Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
2 Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works [are done] in truth.
He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
5 He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.
ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
7 He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths [of the sea].
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 fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
9 For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
10 The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
11 The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
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 whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
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 looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.
ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
14 From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
15 He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.
ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
17 Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.
Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.
Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
19 To deliver from death their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: our help and our shield is he.
ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
21 For in him shall our heart rejoice: because in his holy name have we trusted.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
22 Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
