< Psalms 21 >

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova, ʻe fiefia ʻae tuʻi ʻi ho mālohi; pea ʻe fiefia lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui.
2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)
Kuo ke foaki kiate ia ʻae holi ʻa hono loto, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke taʻofi ʻiate ia ʻae kole ʻa hono loungutu. (Sila)
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
He ʻoku ke tokoni ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoe lelei: ʻoku ke ʻai ki hono fofonga ʻae tatā fakatuʻi ʻoe koula lelei.
4 He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.
Naʻa ne kole ʻae moʻui ʻiate koe, pea naʻa ke foaki ia kiate ia, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lōloa ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty dost thou lay upon him.
‌ʻOku lahi ʻene vikiviki ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui: kuo ke tuku kiate ia ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e nāunau.
6 For thou makest him most blessed for ever: thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.
He kuo ke ngaohi ia ke mātuʻaki monūʻia ʻo taʻengata: kuo ke fakafiefia lahi ʻaupito ia ʻaki ho fofonga.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
He ʻoku falala ʻae tuʻi kia Sihova, pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga ʻe ʻikai ueʻi ia.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
‌ʻE ʻilo ʻe ho nima ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē: pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. The LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Te ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e ngotoʻumu vela ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tuputāmaki: ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi hono houhau, ʻe keina ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻe he afi.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
Te ke fakaʻauha honau fua mei he fonua, mo honau hako mei he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a device, which they are not able to perform.
He naʻa nau tokanga ke fai kovi kiate koe: naʻa nau fakatupu ʻae mahalo kovi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai.
12 For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.
Ko ia te ke fai ke fulituʻa ʻakinautolu, ʻoka ke ka ʻai ʻae ngaahi ngahau ki he uka ki he mata ʻokinautolu.
13 Be thou exalted, O LORD, in thy strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
Ke ke māʻolunga, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he mālohi ʻoʻou: ko ia te mau hiva mo fakamālō ai ki hoʻo māfimafi.
