Psalms 84

1 [For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] How lovely are your dwellings, YHWH of hosts.

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku lelei lahi ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki!

2 My soul longs, yes, yearns for the courts of YHWH. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

‌ʻOku holi hoku laumālie, ʻio, ʻoku ou vaivai ʻi he fie ʻalu ki he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻo Sihova; ʻoku tangi kalanga hoku loto mo hoku kakano ki he ʻOtua moʻui.

3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, YHWH of hosts, my King, and my God.

‌ʻIo, kuo ʻilo ʻe he hikiʻi manupuna ʻae fale, mo e kulukulu ha pununga maʻana, ʻaia te ne tuku ki ai ʻene fānau, ʻio, ko ho ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko hoku Tuʻi, mo hoku ʻOtua.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are ever praising you. (Selah)

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi ho fale: tenau kei fakafetaʻi pe kiate koe. (Sila)

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻiate koe hono mālohi; ʻoku ʻi hono loto ʻae ngaahi hala.

6 Passing through the Valley of Baca, he makes it into a spring. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi he toafa ʻo Peka ʻoku ngaohi ia ko e matavai; ʻoku fakafonu foki ʻe he ʻuha ʻae ngaahi lepa.

7 They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.

‌ʻOku nau ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ki he mālohi, ʻo fakahā taki taha kotoa pē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Saione.

8 YHWH, the God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)

‌ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ke ke fanongo ki heʻeku lotu: fakafanongo, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope. (Sila)

9 Look, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

Vakai, ʻE ʻOtua ko homau fakaū, mo ke ʻafio ki he fofonga ʻo hoʻo pani.

10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

He ʻoku lelei lahi hake ʻae ʻaho pe taha ʻi ho ngaahi loto ʻā, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha afe. ʻOku ou fili muʻa ke u nofo ko e leʻo matapā ʻi he fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku nofo ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe kovi.

11 For YHWH God is a sun and a shield. YHWH will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

He ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ko e laʻā ia mo e fakaū: ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e nāunau: ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ha meʻa lelei ʻe taha meiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva totonu.

12 YHWH of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku falala kiate koe.
