Psalms 119
1 [ALEPH.] How happy the men of blameless life, who walk in the law of Yahweh.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae haohaoa ʻi he hala, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
2 How happy they who observe his testimonies, with a whole heart, they seek him.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, pea kumi kiate ia ʻaki honau loto kotoa pē.
3 Yea, they have not wrought perversity, In his ways, have they walked.
ʻOku ʻikai foki tenau fai ha kovi: ʻoku nau ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.
4 Thou, hast commanded thy precepts, that they should be diligently kept.
Kuo ke fekau mai ke mau tauhi maʻu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
5 Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.
ʻOku ʻamusiaange ʻeau kuo fakahinohino ki hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
6 Then, shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā, ʻo kau ka tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
7 I will thank thee with uprightness of heart, when I have learned thy righteous regulations.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he angatonu ʻoe loto, ʻo kau ka ʻilo hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
8 Thy statutes, will I keep, Do not thou forsake me utterly.
Te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻoua naʻa ke siʻaki ʻaupito au.
9 [BETH.] Wherewithal can a young man keep pure his way? By taking heed, according to thy word.
ʻE fakamaʻa ʻe he tangata talavou hono hala ʻi he hā? ʻI heʻene tokanga ki ai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
10 With all my heart, have I sought thee, Suffer me not to be led astray from thy commandments.
Kuo u kumi kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
11 In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.
Kuo u fufū hoʻo folofola ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku angahala kiate koe.
12 Blessed art thou, O Yahweh—Teach me thy statutes.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo ʻafio: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
13 With my lips, have I recounted All the regulations of thy mouth.
Kuo u fakahā ʻaki hoku loungutu, ʻae ngaahi fakamaau kotoa pē ʻa ho fofonga.
14 In the way of thy testimonies, have I rejoiced, Like as over all riches.
Naʻaku fiefia ʻi hono ʻalunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa pē.
15 In thy precepts, will I meditate, that I may discern thy paths.
Te u fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki, pea te u tokanga ki ho ngaahi hala.
16 In thy statutes, will I find my dear delight, I will not forget thy word.
Te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: ʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo folofola.
17 [GIMEL.] Bestow thy bounties upon thy servant—let me live, That I may observe thy word.
Foaki ke lahi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui, pea te u tauhi ki hoʻo folofola.
18 Unveil thou mine eyes, that I may discern Wondrous things out of thy law.
Ke ke fakaʻā hoku mata, koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi hoʻo fono.
19 A sojourner, am, I, in the earth, Do not hide from me, thy commandments.
Ko e muli au ʻi māmani: ʻoua naʻa fufū hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻiate au.
20 My soul is crushed with longing for thy just decisions at all times.
ʻOku mafesi hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko ʻene holi ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud as accursed, who stray from thy commandments.
Kuo ke valokiʻi ʻae laukau, ʻakinautolu ʻoku malaʻia, ʻaia kuo hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
22 Roll from off me, reproach and contempt, For, thy testimonies, have I observed.
ʻAve ʻiate au ʻae taukaea mo e manukia; he kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
23 Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.
Naʻe nofo foki ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo lauʻikoviʻi au: ka naʻe fakalauloto ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
24 Yea, thy testimonies, are my dear delight, My counsellors.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni foki ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia, mo hoku ngaahi akonakiʻi.
25 [DALETH.] My soul, cleaveth to the dust, Give me life, according to thy word.
ʻOku pikitai ʻa hoku laumālie ki he efu: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
26 My ways, I recounted, and thou didst answer me, Teach me thy statutes.
Kuo u fakahā hoku ngaahi hala, pea naʻa ke ongoʻi au: ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
27 The way of thy precepts, cause thou me to understand, and I will indeed meditate in thy wonders.
Ngaohi au ke u ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: pea te u lea ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
28 My soul weepeth itself away, for grief, Confirm thou me, according to thy word.
Kuo vai ʻa hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko e ongosia: fakamālohiʻi au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
29 The way of falsehood, take thou from me, and, with thy law, O favour me.
Ke ke hiki ʻiate au ʻae hala ʻoe loi, pea ke tuku mai hoʻo fono kiate au ʻi he ʻofa.
30 The way of faithfulness, have I chosen, Thy regulations, have I deemed right.
Kuo u fili ʻae hala ʻoe moʻoni: pea kuo u fokotuʻu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi hoku ʻao.
31 I have kept close to thy testimonies, O Yahweh! do not put me to shame.
Kuo u pikitai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni; ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaaʻi au.
32 The way of thy commandments, will I run, for thou wilt enlarge my heart.
Te u lele ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻoka ke ka fakaʻataʻatā hoku loto.
33 [HE.] Point out to me, O Yahweh, the way of thy statutes, that I may observe it unto the end.
ʻE Sihova, ke ke ako kiate au ʻae hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; pea te u fai ki ai ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
34 Give me understanding, that I may observe thy law, that I may keep it with a whole heart.
Foaki mai kiate au ʻae faʻa ʻilo, pea te u fai ki hoʻo fono; ʻio, te u tokanga ki ai ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē.
35 Guide me in the path of thy commandments, for, therein, do I find pleasure.
Ngaohi au ke u ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fekau; he ʻoku ou fiefia ai.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not unto unjust gain.
Fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, kae ʻikai ki he manumanu.
37 Turn away mine eyes, from beholding vanity, In thy way, give me life.
Taʻofi hoku mata mei he vakai ki he meʻa vaʻinga; pea ke fakaakeake au ʻi ho hala.
38 Establish, unto thy servant, thy word, which pertaineth to the reverence of thee.
Fakamoʻoni hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa kiate koe.
39 Cause to pass away my reproach, that I have feared, for, thy regulations, are good.
Taʻofi atu hoku manukia ʻaia ʻoku ou manavahē ai: he ʻoku lelei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
40 Lo! I have longed for thy precepts, In thy righteousness, give me life.
Vakai, ʻoku ou holi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: fakamoʻui au ʻi ho māʻoniʻoni.
41 [WAW.] And let thy lovingkindness reach me, O Yahweh, thy salvation, according to thy word.
ʻE Sihova, tuku ke hoko foki hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻio, ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
42 So shall I have something to answer him that reproacheth me, That I have trusted in thy word.
Pehē te u maʻu ha meʻa ke tali ʻaki kiate ia ʻoku manukiʻi au: he ʻoku ou falala ki hoʻo folofola.
43 And do not snatch away from my mouth the word of truth in any wise, because, for thy regulation, have I waited.
Pea ʻoua naʻa toʻo ʻaupito ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni mei hoku ngutu; he kuo u ʻamanaki lelei ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
44 That I may keep thy law continually, to times age-abiding and beyond.
Pea te u fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo fono ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
45 That I may walk to and fro in a large place, because, thy precepts, have I sought.
Pea te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi he tauʻatāina: he ʻoku ou kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
46 That I may speak of thy testimonies before kings, and not be ashamed.
Te u lea foki ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mā ai.
47 That I may find dear delight in thy commandments, which I have loved.
Pea te u fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u ʻofa ki ai.
48 That I may lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and may meditate in thy statutes.
Te u hiki hake foki hoku nima ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u ʻofa ki ai pea te u fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
49 [ZAYIN.] Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
Manatuʻi ʻae folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo ke fakaʻamanakiʻi au ki ai.
50 This, is my comfort in mine affliction, that, thy word, hath given me life.
Ko hoku fiemālieʻanga eni ʻi heʻeku mamahi: he ko hoʻo folofola kuo ne fakamoʻui au.
51 Insolent men, have derided me exceedingly, From thy law, have I not swerved.
Kuo manuki lahi kiate au ʻae laukau: ka naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo fono.
52 I have remembered thy regulations, [which have come down] from age-past times, O Yahweh, and have consoled myself.
ʻE Sihova, naʻaku manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻi muʻa; pea u fakafiemālieʻi au.
53 A raging heat, hath seized me, by reason of the lawless, who forsake thy law.
Kuo pukea au ʻe he ilifia koeʻuhi ko e angahala kuo nau siʻaki hoʻo fono.
54 Songs, have thy statutes become to me, in my house of sojourn.
Ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko ʻeku hiva ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku ʻāunofo.
55 I have remembered, in the night, thy Name, O Yahweh, and have kept thy law.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u manatu ki ho huafa ʻi he pō, pea u fai ki hoʻo fono.
56 This, have I had, because, thy precepts, have I observed.
Naʻaku maʻu eni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
57 [HETH.] My portion, is Yahweh, I have promised that I would keep thy words.
ʻE Sihova, ko hoku ʻinasi ʻa koe: naʻaku pehē te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi folofola.
58 I have sought the smile of thy face with all my heart, Show me favour, according to thy word.
Naʻaku kole ki hoʻo ʻofa ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē: ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
59 I have thought upon my ways, and have turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
Naʻaku fifili ki hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga, pea u fakaafe hoku vaʻe ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
60 I have hastened, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.
Ne u fakatoʻotoʻo, pea ʻikai tuai, ʻeku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
61 The meshes of the lawless, have surrounded me, Thy law, have I not forgotten.
Kuo kaihaʻasia au ʻe he ngaahi kaihaʻakau ʻoe kau angahala: ka naʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au ʻa hoʻo fono.
62 At midnight, I arise to give thanks unto thee, For thy righteous regulations.
Te u tuʻu hake ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie ke fakafetaʻi kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
63 Companion, am I, to all who revere thee, and to them who keep thy precepts.
ʻOku ou kaumeʻa mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
64 Of thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, the earth, is full, Thy statutes, teach thou me.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
65 [TETH.] Well, hast thou dealt with thy servant, O Yahweh, according to thy word.
ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fie fai lelei ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
66 Good judgment and knowledge, teach thou me, For, in thy commandments, have I trusted.
Ke ke ako kiate au ʻae fakamaau lelei mo e faʻa ʻilo: he ʻoku ou tui ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
67 Before I was afflicted, I myself was going astray, but, now, thy word, have I kept.
ʻI he teʻeki ai te u mahaki naʻaku hē: ka ko eni kuo u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
68 Good, thou art, and doing good, Teach me thy statutes.
ʻOku ke angalelei, pea ʻoku ke fai lelei; ke ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
69 Insolent men have plastered falsehood over me, I, with a whole heart, will observe thy precepts.
Kuo fakatupu ʻe he fielahi ʻae loi kiate au: ka te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē.
70 Gross, like fat, is their heart, I, in thy law, have found dear delight.
ʻOku tatau honau loto mo e ngako, ka ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻo fono.
71 It is, well for me, that I was afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.
Kuo ʻaonga kiate au ʻa hoku mahaki; koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
72 Better to me, is the law of thy mouth, than thousands of gold and silver.
ʻOku lelei lahi kiate au ʻae fono ʻaho fofonga ʻi he ngaahi afe ʻoe kuonga koula mo e siliva.
73 [YODH.] Thine own hands, have made me, and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
Ko ho nima naʻa ne ngaohi au mo fakatonutonu: foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
74 They who revere thee, shall see me and rejoice, that, for thy word, I waited.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe tenau fiefia ʻoka nau ka mamata kiate au; koeʻuhi naʻaku ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
75 I know, O Yahweh, that righteous are thy regulations, and, in faithfulness, didst thou afflict me.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, pea ʻi he angatonu kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au.
76 Let thy lovingkindness, I beseech thee, serve to comfort me, according to thy word to thy servant.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
77 Let thy compassions reach me, that I may live, for, thy law, is my dear delight.
Tuku ke hoko kiate au hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ai: he ko hoʻo fono ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
78 Let insolent men, be ashamed, because, by means of falsehood, they have dealt with me perversely, I, will meditate in thy precepts.
Tuku ke mā ʻae fielahi; he naʻa Tuku ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu kuo nau ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
79 Let them who revere thee, turn unto me, even they who know thy testimonies.
Tuku ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu kuo nau ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
80 Let my heart be thorough in thy statutes, that I may not be ashamed.
Tuku ke haohaoa hoku loto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku mā ai.
81 [KAPH.] My soul, hath languished for thy salvation, For thy word, have I hoped.
ʻOku pongia hoku laumālie ʻi he fiemaʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui: ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ki hoʻo folofola.
82 Mine eyes have failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo folofola, ʻoku ou pehē, “Te ke fakafiemālieʻi au ʻafē?”
83 Though I have been like a wine-skin in the smoke, thy statutes, have I not forgotten.
He kuo u hoko ʻo tatau mo e hina ʻi he ʻohuafi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
84 How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?
ʻOku fiha ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? Te ke fakamaau ʻafē ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au?
85 Insolent men digged for me pits, men who are not according to thy law.
Kuo keli ʻe he fielahi ʻae ngaahi luo kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tatau mo hoʻo fono.
86 All thy commandments, are faithful, With falsehood, have they persecuted me, O help me!
ʻOku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē: ʻoku taʻetotonu ʻenau fakatangaʻi au; ke ke tokoniʻi au,
87 A little more, and they had consumed me in the earth, but, I, forsake not thy precepts.
Naʻa nau meimei fakaʻauha au ʻi māmani ka naʻe ʻikai te u siʻaki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
88 According to thy lovingkindness, give thou me life, so will I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
Fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; ko ia te u tauhi ai ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻa ho fofonga.
89 [LAMED.] Age-abidingly, O Yahweh, hath thy word been set up in the heavens.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku tuʻumaʻu hoʻo folofola ʻi he langi ʻo lauikuonga.
90 To generation after generation, is thy faithfulness, Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
ʻOku aʻu atu hoʻo moʻoni ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē: kuo ke fokotuʻu ʻa māmani, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ia.
91 By thy regulations, do they stand to-day, for, all, are thy servants.
ʻOku nau tolonga he ʻaho ni ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
92 Had not thy law been my dear delight, then, had I perished in mine affliction.
Ka ne ʻikai ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ʻa hoʻo fono, pehē, ne u mate ʻi hoku mahaki.
93 Unto times age-abiding, will I not forget thy precepts, For, by them, hast thou given me life.
ʻE ʻikai siʻi ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi akonaki ʻo lauikuonga: he ko ia kuo ke fakamoʻui ai au.
94 Thine, am I, —oh save me! For, thy precepts, have I sought.
ʻOku ʻaʻau au, ke ke fakamoʻui au he kuo u kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
95 For me, have the lawless waited, to destroy me, Thy testimonies, will I diligently consider.
Kuo tatali ʻae angahala kiate au ke tāmateʻi au: ka te u fifili ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
96 To all perfection, have I seen an end, Broad is thy commandment, exceedingly.
Kuo u mamata ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe haohaoa kotoa pē: ka ʻoku laulahi ʻaupito ʻa hoʻo fekau.
97 [MEM.] Oh how I love thy law! All the day, is it my (meditation)
ʻOku ou ʻofa lahi ki hoʻo fono: ʻoku ou fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
98 Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.
Kuo ke ngaohi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fekau ke u poto hake ʻi hoku ngaahi fili: he ʻoku ʻiate au maʻuaipē ia.
99 Beyond all my teachers, have I shown discretion, for, thy testimonies, are my (meditation)
ʻOku ou poto lahi hake ʻi heʻeku kau akonaki kotoa pē: he ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku fakakaukauʻanga ia.
100 Beyond the elders, will I show understanding, for, thy precepts, have I observed.
ʻOku ou ʻilo lahi hake ʻi he kau mātuʻa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou tauhi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
101 From every way of wickedness, have I withheld my feet, that I might keep thy word.
Naʻaku taʻofi hoku vaʻe mei he hala kovi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki hoʻo folofola.
102 From thy regulations, have I not turned aside, for, thou, hast directed me.
Naʻe ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau: he kuo ke akonakiʻi au.
103 How smooth to my palate is thy speech, More than honey, to my mouth.
ʻOku huʻamelie lahi hoʻo ngaahi folofola ki hoku ifo! ʻIo, ʻoku melie lahi ʻi he hone ki hoku ngutu!
104 Out of thy precepts, will I get understanding, For this cause, do I hate every false way.
ʻOku ou maʻu ʻae poto ʻi hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: ko ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ai ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
105 [NUN.] A lamp to my feet, is thy word, and a light to my path.
Ko hoʻo folofola ko e tūhulu ia ki hoku vaʻe, mo e maama ki hoku hala.
106 I sware, and have fulfilled, To keep thy righteous regulations.
Kuo u fuakava, pea te u fai ki ai, ke u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
107 I have been afflicted exceedingly, —O Yahweh, give me life according to thy word.
ʻOku lahi ʻaupito hoku mahaki: fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
108 The freewill offerings of my mouth, accept, I pray thee, O Yahweh, And, thy regulations, teach thou me.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau loto lelei ʻa hoku ngutu, pea ke ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
109 My life, is in my hand continually, Yet, thy law, have I not forgotten.
ʻOku ʻi hoku nima maʻuaipē ʻa ʻeku moʻui: ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo fono.
110 The lawless have set a snare for me, Yet, from thy precepts, have I not strayed.
Kuo ʻai ʻe he angahala ʻae tauhele kiate au: ka naʻe ʻikai te u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
111 As an inheritance have I taken thy testimonies unto times age-abiding, for, the joy of my heart, they are.
Kuo u maʻu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni ko hoku tofiʻa ʻo lauikuonga: he ko e fiefiaʻanga ia ʻo hoku loto.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes, Age-abidingly, to the end.
Kuo u fakatokangaʻi hoku loto ke fai maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
113 [SAMECH.] Half-hearted ones, do I hate, but, thy law, do I love.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he ngaahi mahalo kovi: ka ʻoku ou ʻofa ki hoʻo fono.
114 My hiding-place and my buckler, thou art, For thy word, have I waited.
Ko koe ko hoku toitoiʻanga, mo hoku fakaū; ʻoku ou ʻamanaki lelei ʻi hoʻo folofola.
115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers, —that I may observe the commandments of my God.
ʻAlu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fai kovi: he te u fai ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa hoku ʻOtua.
116 Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live, and do not shame me out of my hope!
Poupou hake au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ai. Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u mā ʻi heʻeku ʻamanaki.
117 Sustain me, that I may be saved, and may find dear delight in thy statutes continually.
Ke ke poupou hake au, pea te u hao ai: pea te u tokanga maʻuaipē ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
118 Thou hast made light of all who stray from thy statutes, for their fraud is, falsehood.
Kuo ke malaki hifo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hē mei hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni: he ko ʻenau kākā ko e loi ia.
119 Dross, have I accounted all the lawless of the earth, therefore do I love thy testimonies.
ʻOku ke siʻaki ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻo hangē ko e ʻotoʻota: ko ia ʻoku ou ʻofa ai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
120 My flesh, bristled up from dread of thee, and, of thy regulations, stand I in fear.
ʻOku tetetete hoku kakano ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku manavahē kiate koe; pea ʻoku ou manavahē ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
121 [AYIN.] I have done justice and righteousness, —Do not leave me to mine oppressors.
Kuo u fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu: ʻoua naʻa tukuange au ki he kau fakamālohi kiate au.
122 Be thou surety for thy servant for good, Let not insolent men oppress me.
Ke ke hoko ko e ungakiʻi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke u lelei ai; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke taʻomia au ʻe he fielahi.
123 Mine eyes, have become dim for thy salvation, and for thy righteous word.
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea mo e folofola ʻo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
124 Deal with thy servant according to thy lovingkindness, and, thy statutes, teach thou me.
Fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea ke ako kiate au ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
125 Thy servant, I am—give me understanding, so shall I get to know thy testimonies.
Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au; foaki mai ʻae poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
126 It is time that Yahweh should work, They have frustrated thy law!
ʻE Sihova, kuo hoko ʻae kuonga ke ke ngāue ai: he kuo nau fakataʻeʻaongaʻi hoʻo fono.
127 For this cause, do I love thy commandments, More than gold, yea than fine gold!
Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi hake ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau ʻi he koula; ʻio, ʻi he koula lelei.
128 For this cause, all thy precepts concerning all things, I deem right, Every way of falsehood, I hate.
Ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi akonaki kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he hala kotoa pē ʻoe loi.
129 [PE.] Wonderful are thy testimonies, For this cause, hath my soul observed them.
ʻOku fakamanavahē hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: ko ia ʻoku fai ki ai ʻa hoku laumālie.
130 The opening of thy words, sheddeth light, Giving understanding to the simple.
Ko e hū loto ʻa hoʻo ngaahi folofola ʻoku foaki ai ʻae maama; ʻoku ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae poto ki he taʻekākā.
131 My mouth, have I opened wide, and panted, because, for thy commandments, have I longed.
Ne u mafaʻa hoku ngutu, pea u holi he ʻoku ou feinga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
132 Turn thyself unto me, and show me favour, —As is befitting, to the lovers of thy Name.
Ke ke ʻafio mai kiate au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo faʻa fai kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki ho huafa.
133 My steps, direct thou by thy word, and let no iniquity, have dominion over me.
Tuʻutuʻuni ʻeku ngaahi laka ʻi hoʻo folofola: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke pule kiate au ha hia ʻe taha.
134 Set me free from the oppression of man, so will I keep thy precepts.
Fakamoʻui au mei he fakamālohi ʻae tangata: pea te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
135 Thy face, light thou up on thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; pea ke ako kiate au hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
136 Streams of water, have run down mine eyes, because men have not kept thy law.
ʻOku tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻi hoku mata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tenau tokanga ki hoʻo fono.
137 [ZADHE.] Righteous art thou, O Yahweh, —and, equitable, are thy regulations.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke angatonu, pea ʻoku totonu hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
138 Thou hast righteously commanded thy testimonies, yea in great faithfulness.
ʻOku māʻoniʻoni pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻaupito hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, ʻaia kuo ke fekau mai.
139 My zeal, hath put an end to me, for mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.
Kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi heʻeku fai feinga, koeʻuhi kuo ngalo ʻi hoku ngaahi fili hoʻo ngaahi folofola.
140 Refined is thy word, to the uttermost, and, thy servant loveth it.
ʻOku haohaoa ʻaupito hoʻo folofola: ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
141 Small, am I, and despised, Thy precepts, have I not forgotten.
ʻOku ou siʻi au mo manukia: ka ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
142 Thy righteousness, is righteous to times age-abiding, and, thy law, is truth.
Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ko e māʻoniʻoni taʻengata, pea ko hoʻo fono ko e moʻoni ia.
143 Straitness and distress, have befallen me, Thy commandments, are my dear delights.
Kuo pukea au ʻe he mamahi mo e feinga: ka ko hoʻo ngaahi fekau ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
144 Righteous are thy testimonies, unto times age-abiding, Give me understanding, that I may live.
ʻOku taʻengata ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: ke ke foaki mai ʻae poto, pea te u moʻui ai.
145 [KOPH.] I have cried out with all my heart, answer me, O Yahweh; Thy statutes, will I observe.
Naʻaku tangi ʻaki hoku loto kotoa; ke ke ongoʻi au, ʻE Sihova: te u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
146 I have cried out unto thee, oh save me, That I may keep thy testimonies.
Ne u tangi kiate koe; fakamoʻui au, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
147 I forestalled the twilight, and cried for help, For thy word, I waited.
Naʻaku muʻomuʻa ʻi he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea u tangi: ne u ʻamanaki ʻi hoʻo folofola.
148 Mine eyes forestalled the night-watches, To meditate in thy word.
ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻa hoku mata ki he ngaahi leʻo ʻoe pō, koeʻuhi ke u fakakaukau ki hoʻo folofola.
149 My voice, O hear, according to thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh! according to thy wont, give me life.
Ke ke fanongo ki hoku leʻo ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fakamaau.
150 They have drawn near, who pursue villainy, From thy law, have they gone far away.
ʻOku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau angimui ki he kovi: ʻoku nau mamaʻo mei hoʻo fono.
151 Near art thou, O Yahweh, and, all thy commandments, are truth.
ʻOku ke ofi mai, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻoku moʻoni hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
152 Long, have I known, from thy testimonies, That, to times age-abiding, thou didst establish them.
Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, kuo fuoloa ʻeku ʻilo kuo ke fakamaau ia ʻo lauikuonga.
153 [RESH.] Behold mine affliction, and rescue me, For, thy law, have I not forgotten.
Ke ke tokanga ki hoku mahaki, pea ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo fono.
154 Plead my cause, and redeem me, By thy word, give me life
Ke ke fakamatala ʻeku meʻa, mo fakahaofi au: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
155 Far from the lawless, is salvation, For, thy statutes, have they not sought.
ʻOku mamaʻo ʻae fakamoʻui mei he angahala: he ʻoku ʻikai tenau kumi ki hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
156 Thy compassions, are great, O Yahweh, According to thy regulations, give me life.
ʻOku lahi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua, ʻE Sihova: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
157 Many, are my persecutors and mine adversaries, From thy testimonies, have I not swerved.
ʻOku tokolahi hoku kau fakatanga mo hoku ngaahi fili; ka ʻoku ʻikai te u afe mei hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
158 I have seen traitors, and felt loathing, Because, thy word, they kept not.
Naʻaku mamata ki he kau talangataʻa, pea u mamahi ai; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fai ki hoʻo folofola.
159 See thou that, thy precepts, I have loved, O Yahweh, according to thy lovingkindness, give me life.
Ke ke ʻafio ki hono anga ʻo ʻeku ʻofa ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki: fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
160 The sum of thy word, is truth, and, age-abiding, is every one of thy righteous regulations.
ʻOku moʻoni hoʻo folofola mei hono kamataʻanga: pea ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
161 [SHIN.] Rulers, have persecuted me, without cause, But, of thy word, hath my heart stood in awe.
Kuo fakatanga au taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki: ka ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa hoku loto ki hoʻo folofola.
162 Joyful am I over thy word, Like the finder of spoil in abundance.
ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi hoʻo folofola, ʻo hangē ko e taha ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae koloa lahi.
163 Falsehood, I hate and abhor, Thy law, do I love.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa mo fākaliliʻa ki he loi: ka ʻoku ou ʻofa ki hoʻo fono.
164 Seven times in the day, have I praised thee, For thy righteous regulations.
ʻOku ou fakamālō kiate koe ʻo liunga fitu ʻi he ʻaho, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
165 Blessing in abundance, have the lovers of thy law, and nothing to make them stumble.
ʻOku maʻu ʻae fiemālie lahi ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fono: pea ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻakinautolu ʻi ha meʻa.
166 I have looked for thy salvation, O Yahweh, and, thy commandments, have I done.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻamanaki ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies, yea I have loved them greatly.
Kuo tauhi ʻe hoku laumālie ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni; pea ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi ʻaupito ki ai.
168 I have kept thy precepts, and thy testimonies, For, all my ways, are before thee.
Kuo u fai ki hoʻo ngaahi akonaki mo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni: he ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga kotoa pē.
169 [TAU] Let my shouting come near before thee, O Yahweh, According to thy word, give me understanding.
ʻE Sihova, tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku tangi ʻo ofi kiate koe: ke ke foaki mai ʻae poto ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
170 Let my supplication come in before thee, According to thy word, deliver me.
Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu ki ho ʻao: fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
171 My lips, shall pour out, praise, When thou shalt teach me thy statutes.
ʻE huaʻaki ʻe hoku loungutu ʻae fakamālō, ʻoka ke ka ako hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni kiate au.
172 My tongue, shall respond, with thy word, For, all thy commandments, are righteous.
ʻE lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻelelo hoʻo folofola: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē.
173 Be thy hand ready to help me, For, thy statutes, have I chosen.
Ke tokoni au ʻe ho nima; he kuo u fili hoʻo ngaahi akonaki.
174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Yahweh, and, thy law, is my dear delight.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou holi ki hoʻo fakamoʻui; pea ko hoʻo fono ko hoku fiefiaʻanga ia.
175 Let my soul live, that it may praise thee, So shall thy regulation help me.
Tuku ke moʻui ʻa hoku laumālie, pea ʻe fakamālō ia kiate koe; pea ke tokoni au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
176 I have strayed like a wandering sheep, O seek thy servant, For, thy commandments, have I not forgotten.
Naʻaku hē ʻo hangē ko e sipi kuo mole; ke ke kumi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
