Psalms 138

1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua te u hiva fakamālō kiate koe.

2 I bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.

Te u lotu ʻo hanga atu ki ho faletapu māʻoniʻoni, mo fakamālō ki ho huafa koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni: he kuo ke hiki ke māʻolunga hake hoʻo folofola ʻi ho huafa kotoa pē.

3 In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ne u tangi ai naʻa ke talia au, mo fakamālohi ʻaki au ʻae mālohi ʻi hoku laumālie.

4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

‌ʻE Sihova, ʻe fakamālō kiate koe ʻae ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻoka nau ka fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻo ho fofonga.

5 And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

‌ʻIo, tenau hiva ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova: he ʻoku lahi ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.

6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

Ko e moʻoni ʻoku māʻolunga ʻa Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻofa ia ki he angavaivai: ka ʻoku ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae laukau ki he mamaʻo.

7 If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

Neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe mamahi, te ke fakaakeake au: te ke mafao atu ho nima ke taʻofi ki he ʻita ʻa hoku ngaahi fili, pea ko ho nima toʻomataʻu te ne fakamoʻui au.

8 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!

‌ʻE fakahaohaoa ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku kau kiate au: ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata: ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima ʻoʻou.
