Psalms 7
1 A SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
Ko e Sikaiona ʻa Tevita, ʻaia naʻa ne hiva ʻaki kia Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Kusi mei he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani. ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou falala pe kiate koe: ke ke fakamoʻui au meiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakatangaʻi au, mo ke fakahaofi au.
2 Lest he tear my soul as a lion, Tearing, and there is no deliverer.
Telia naʻa ne haehae hoku laumālie ʻo hangē ko e laione, ʻo haehae ia ke fakaikiiki, ʻoka ʻikai ha fakahaofi.
3 O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kapau naʻaku fai eni; kapau ʻoku ai ha angahala ʻi hoku nima;
4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
Kapau ne u totongi kovi kiate ia naʻe nofo ʻi he melino mo au; ʻio, naʻaku fakamoʻui ia ʻaia kuo hoko ko hoku fili taʻehanoʻuhinga:
5 [Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, And treads down my life to the earth, And places my glory in the dust. (Selah)
Tuku ke tuli hoku laumālie ʻe he fili, pea maʻu ia; ʻio, tuku ke ne molomoloki hifo ʻeku moʻui ʻi he kelekele, pea fakatokoto hoku ongoongolelei ʻi he efu. (Sila)
6 Rise, O YHWH, in Your anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of my adversaries, And awake Yourself for me: You have commanded judgment.
Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ʻi ho houhau, ke ke hiki hake koe, ko e meʻa ʻi he lili ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: pea ke ʻā hake koeʻuhi ko au ki he fakamaau ʻaia naʻa ke fekau.
7 And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back on high.
Pehē ʻe kāpui koe ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kakai: ko ia ko e meʻa ʻiate kinautolu ke ke hāʻele hake ki ʻolunga.
8 YHWH judges the peoples; Judge me, O YHWH, According to my righteousness, And according to my integrity [that is] on me.
ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai: ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pea hangē ko ʻeku angatonu ʻoku ʻiate au.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be ended, And establish the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
Tuku ke ngata ʻae kovi ʻoe angakovi, ka ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae angatonu: he ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi loto mo e ngaahi konga loto.
10 My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
ʻOku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻa hoku fakaū, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻae kakai angatonu ʻi loto.
11 God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
ʻOku fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku houhau ʻae ʻOtua ki he angakovi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
12 If [one] does not turn, He sharpens His sword, He has bent His bow [and] He prepares it,
Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki, te ne fakamata ʻa ʻene heletā; kuo ne teteke ʻene kaufana, ʻo teuteu ia.
13 Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
Kuo ne teuteu foki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakapō; ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻene ngaahi ngahau ki he kau fakatanga.
14 Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
Vakai, ʻoku langā ia ʻi he angakovi, pea kuo ne tuʻituʻia ʻae angapauʻu, pea fanauʻi ʻe ia ʻae kākā.
15 He has prepared a pit, and he digs it, And he falls into a ditch he makes.
Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae luo, ʻo keli ia, pea kuo tō ia ki he luo naʻa ne ngaohi.
16 His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
ʻE foki ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona ʻa ʻene angapauʻu, pea ʻe tō hifo ki hono tumuʻaki ʻoʻona ʻa ʻene ngāue fakamālohi.
17 I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni: pea te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe.
