Psalms 64

1 To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Fanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku lotu: fakahaofi ʻeku moʻui mei he manavahē ki he fili.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Fakafufū au mei he filioʻi ʻae kau angahala; mei he angatuʻu fakamaveuveu ʻoe kau fai kovi:

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:

‌ʻOku nau fakamata honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e heletā, ʻonau teke ʻenau kaufana ke fanaʻi ʻenau ngaahi ngahau, ʻio, ko e ngaahi lea kona.

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Koeʻuhi ke nau fana ʻi he lilo ki he haohaoa: ʻoku nau fana fakafokifā pe kiate ia, ʻo taʻemanavahē.

5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who will see them?

‌ʻOku nau fetokoniʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa kovi: ʻoku nau fakakaukau ke tau ʻae ngaahi tauhele ʻi he lilo; ʻoku nau pehē, “Ko hai te ne mamata kiate kimautolu?”

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep.

‌ʻOku nau kumi ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi kovi ʻoku nau faʻa ʻeke ke lahi: ʻoku taumamaʻo ʻae mahalo mo e loto ʻokinautolu kotoa pē.

7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

Ka ʻe fana ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae ngahau; te nau lavea fakafokifā pe.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

Ko ia tenau ngaohi honau ʻelelo ke tō kiate kinautolu: ʻe hola ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate kinautolu.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Pea ʻe manavahē ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻOtua; he tenau fakakaukau poto ki heʻene ngāue.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

‌ʻE fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻEiki, pea falala kiate ia; pea vikiviki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu ʻi loto.
