Psalms 40

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Naʻa ku tatali faʻa kātaki pe kia Sihova; pea ne tokanga kiate au, ʻone ongoʻi ʻeku tangi.

2 And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.

Pea naʻa ne toʻo hake au mei he luo fakailifia, mei he ʻumea pelepela, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ki he maka, ʻo fakamaʻu hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

3 And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.

Pea kuo ne ʻai ʻae hiva foʻou ki hoku ngutu, ʻio, ʻae fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua: ʻe mamata ki ai ʻae tokolahi, pea manavahē, pea tenau falala kia Sihova.

4 O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku falala kia Sihova, pea ʻikai tokanga ia ki he kakai laukau, mo kinautolu ʻoku afe ki he loi.

5 You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

‌ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻaia kuo ke fai, mo ho finangalo lelei kiate kimautolu: ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau fakaholo ia kiate koe: kapau te u fie fakahā ʻo lea ki ai, ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ia, ʻe ʻikai faʻa laua.

6 Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.

Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai; ka ko hoku telinga kuo ke fakaava: ko e feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala naʻe ʻikai te ke fekau.

7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,

Pea naʻaku toki pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu: kuo tohi ʻi he tohi tākai ʻiate au,

8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”

‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fiefia ke fai ho finangalo: ʻio, ʻoku ʻi hoku loto hoʻo fono.”

9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.

Naʻaku malangaʻaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakataha lahi: vakai, naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi hoku loungutu, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi.

10 I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.

Naʻe ʻikai te u fakafufū hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi hoku loto; naʻaku fakahā hoʻo angatonu mo hoʻo fakamoʻui: naʻe ʻikai te u fakalilolilo ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni mei he fakataha lahi.

11 You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.

‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻofi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻiate au: tuku ke tauhi maʻuaipē au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.

He kuo kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi kovi taʻefaʻalaua: kuo puke au ʻe heʻeku ngaahi hia, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te u faʻa hanga hake; ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu: ko ia kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku loto.

13 Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.

‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke finangalo lelei ke fakamoʻui au: ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai vave ke tokoniʻi au.

14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

Tuku ke mā mo puputuʻu fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau kumi hoku laumālie ke fakaʻauha ia; tuku ke fakafoki kimui mo mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau holi ke u kovi.

15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”

Tuku ke paea ʻakinautolu ko e totongi ʻo ʻenau kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē kiate au, “Ha ha.”

16 All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”

Tuku ke fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi kiate koe: tuku ke lea pehē maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, “Ke ongoongolelei ʻa Sihova.”

17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.

Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo paea; ka ʻoku finangalo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au: ko koe ko hoku tokoni mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuai, ʻE hoku ʻOtua.
