Psalms 41

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he masiva: ʻe fakamoʻui ia ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ʻoe kovi.

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

‌ʻE tauhi ia ʻe Sihova, mo pule ke moʻui ia; pea te ne monūʻia ʻi māmani: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tukuange ia ki he loto ʻo hono ngaahi fili.

3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

‌ʻE fakamālohi ia ʻe Sihova ʻi he tokotoʻanga fakamamahi: te ke ngaohi hono mohenga kotoa pē ʻi hono mahaki.

4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Naʻaku pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au: fakamoʻui hoku laumālie; he kuo u fai angahala kiate koe.”

5 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

‌ʻOku lauʻikoviʻi au ʻe hoku ngaahi fili: ʻE mate ʻafē ia, pea ʻauha hono hingoa?

6 And if he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

Pea kapau ʻe haʻu ia ke vakai au, ʻoku ne lea loi: ʻoku tānaki ʻe hono loto kiate ia ʻae kovi; ʻoku ʻalu ia kituaʻā, ʻo fakahā ia.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

‌ʻOku fefanafanahi kiate au ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au: ʻoku nau fakakaukau kovi kiate au.

8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.

‌ʻOku nau pehē, “ʻOku piki maʻu kiate ia ʻae mahaki kovi: pea ko ʻene tokoto ni ʻe ʻikai te ne toetuʻu hake mei ai.”

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

‌ʻIo, ko hoku kaumeʻa moʻoni, ʻaia naʻaku falala ki ai, ʻaia naʻa ne kai ʻi heʻeku mā, kuo hiki hake ʻe ia hono mui vaʻe kiate au.

10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, mo fokotuʻu hake au, pea te u totongi kiate kinautolu.

11 By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

‌ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku ke finangalo lelei kiate au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoku fili kiate au.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

Pea ko au, ʻoku ke poupou hake au ʻi heʻeku angatonu, pea te ke fokotuʻu au ʻi ho ʻao ʻo taʻengata.

13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and amen.

Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, talu mei muʻa, ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni mo ʻEmeni.
