Psalms 71
1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be made ashamed.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou falala kiate koe ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u mā ʻo taʻengata.
2 In thy righteousness do thou deliver me and release me: incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
Fakamoʻui au ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, pea tuku ke u hao: fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga kiate au, ʻo fakamoʻui au.
3 Be thou unto me a rocky habitation, whereunto I may continually resort, which thou hast ordained to save me; for my rock and my strong-hold art thou.
Ke ke ʻiate au ko e nofoʻanga mālohi ʻaia te u hū maʻuaipē ki ai: kuo ke fekau ke fakamoʻui au; he ko koe ko hoku makatuʻu mo hoku hūfanga.
4 O my God, release me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and violent man.
ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala, mei he nima ʻoe kau tangata taʻemāʻoniʻoni mo angamālohi.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Eternal: thou art my trust from my youth.
He ko koe, ʻE ʻEiki Sihova, ko ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei: ko koe ko hoku falalaʻanga talu ʻeku kei siʻi.
6 By thee have I been supported from my birth: thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb: of thee is my praise continually.
Kuo ke poupou au talu ʻeku [māvae ]mei he manāva: ko koe ia naʻe toʻo au mei he fatu ʻo ʻeku faʻē: te u fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē kiate koe.
7 As a wonderful token have I been unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
ʻOku ou hangē ko e meʻa fakaofo ki he tokolahi: ka ko koe ko hoku hūfanga mālohi.
8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day.
Tuku ke pito hoku ngutu ʻaki hoʻo fakamālō mo hoʻo fakaʻapaʻapa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength faileth, forsake me not.
Pea ʻoua naʻa siʻaki au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku motuʻa; ʻoua naʻa liʻaki au ʻoka mole ʻiate au ʻeku mālohi.
10 For my enemies speak of me; and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
He ʻoku lea kovi kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi fili; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku lamasi hoku laumālie ʻoku nau fakakaukau fakataha,
11 Saying, “God hath forsaken him: pursue and seize him: for there is none to deliver.”
ʻO nau pehē, “Kuo liʻaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua: fakatanga ʻo puke ia; he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ke fakamoʻui ia.”
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, hasten to my help.
ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au: ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fai vave ke tokoni au.
13 Let those be made ashamed, let them perish, that are adversaries to my soul: let those be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my unhappiness.
Tuku ke puputuʻu mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ko e fili ki hoku laumālie; ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae mā mo e manuki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke u kovi.
14 But I will continually hope, and will add yet more to all thy praise.
Ka te u ʻamanaki lelei maʻuaipē, pea ʻe tupulekina pe ʻeku fakamālō kiate koe.
15 My mouth shall relate thy righteousness, all the day thy salvation; for I know not their numbers.
ʻE fakahā atu ʻe hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo māʻoniʻoni mo hoʻo fakamoʻui ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ki hono lau ʻo ia.
16 I will come to praise the mighty deeds of the Lord Eternal: I will make mention of thy righteousness, yea, thine only.
Te u ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ʻae ʻEiki ko Sihova: te u fakahā hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, ʻio, ʻoʻou pe.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto I ever tell of thy wondrous deeds.
ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke akonakiʻi au talu ʻeku kei siʻi: pea talu mei muʻa mo ʻeku fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
18 Therefore also even in old age, and when I am grayheaded, O God, forsake me not: until I have told of thy strength unto [this] generation, to every one that may come of thy might.
Pea ko eni foki, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku motuʻa mo ʻuluhinā, ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki au; kaeʻoua ke u fakahā ho mālohi ki he toʻutangata ni, mo hoʻo māfimafi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe haʻu.
19 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth even to the height, thou, who hast done great things: O God, who is like thee!
Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni foki, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku māʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻa koe naʻa ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi: ʻE ʻOtua, ko hai ʻoku hangē ko koe!
20 Thou, who hast shown me great distresses and misfortunes, wilt again revive me; and from the depths of the earth wilt thou bring me up again.
ʻA koe, kuo ke fakahā kiate au ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoku lahi mo kovi, te ke toe fakaake au, ʻo toe ʻohake au mei he loto kelekele.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and wilt turn round and comfort me.
Te ke fakatupulekina hoku nāunauʻia, ʻo fakafiemālieʻi au ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
22 Also I, I will thank thee with the psaltery, [for] thy truth, O my God: I will sing unto thee with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
ʻE hoku ʻOtua, te u fakamālō foki kiate koe, ʻio, ki hoʻo moʻoni ʻaki ʻae saliteli: te u hiva kiate koe ʻaki ʻae haʻape, ʻa koe koe tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻa ʻIsileli.
23 My lips shall shout joyfully when I sing unto thee; and my soul [too], which thou hast redeemed.
ʻE fiefia lahi hoku loungutu ʻo kau ka hiva kiate koe; mo hoku laumālie ʻaia kuo ke huhuʻi.
24 Also my tongue shall speak all the day of thy righteousness; for ashamed, for put to the blush are those that seek my unhappiness.
ʻE talanoa ʻa hoku ʻelelo foki ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: he kuo puputuʻu, kuo hoko ʻo mā, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke u kovi.
