< Psalms 33 >
1 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous. Praise is fitting for the upright.
Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
4 For the word of the LORD is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving 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 the heavens were made; and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
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. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
10 The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
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 looks from heaven. He sees all the descendants of Adam.
ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great 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 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
18 Look, the LORD's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving 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 their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
