Psalms 86
1 A Prayer by David. Hear, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Ko e Lotu ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, ke ke fofonga mai, ʻo fanongo kiate au: he ʻoku ou masiva mo mamahi.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie; he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni: ʻa koe ko hoku ʻOtua, fakamoʻui hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku falala kiate koe.
3 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
ʻE ʻEiki, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au: he ʻoku ou tangi kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
ʻE ʻEiki, fakafiefiaʻi ʻae laumālie ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: he ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
He ko koe, ʻE ʻEiki ʻoku ke angalelei, pea faʻa fakamolemole; pea mohu ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ui kiate koe.
6 Hear, LORD, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
Fanongo, ʻE Sihova, ki heʻeku lotu pea tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
ʻI he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mamahi te u ui kiate koe; he te ke talia au.
8 There is no one like you amongst the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
ʻE ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoku tatau mo koe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ngāue ʻe hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi ngāue.
9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.
ʻE ʻEiki, ʻe haʻu ʻo hū ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻa ke ngaohi; pea tenau fakaongoongoleleiʻi ho huafa.
10 For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
He ʻoku ke lahi, pea ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana: ko koe pē ko e ʻOtua.
11 Teach me your way, LORD. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
ʻE Sihova, ako kiate au ho hala; te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni: ngaohi ke taha pē hoku loto ke manavahē ki ho huafa.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
ʻE ʻEiki ko hoku ʻOtua, te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa: pea te u fakaongoongolelei ho huafa ʻo taʻengata.
13 For your loving kindness is great towards me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
He ʻoku lahi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kiate au: pea kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he loto heli. (Sheol h7585)
14 God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.
ʻE ʻOtua, kuo tuʻu hake kiate au ʻae kau fielahi, pea naʻe kumi hoku laumālie ʻe he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kau fakamālohi; pea ʻoku ʻikai tenau fokotuʻu ʻa hoʻo ʻafio ʻi honau ʻao.
15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
Ka ko koe, ʻE ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua ʻoku fonu ʻi he manavaʻofa, mo e angalelei, ʻoku ke kātaki fuoloa, pea mohu ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
Ke ke tafoki mai kiate au, pea ʻaloʻofa kiate au; foaki ho mālohi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea fakamoʻui ʻae tama ʻa hoʻo kaunanga.
17 Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
Fakahā kiate au ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe lelei; koeʻuhi ke mamata ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, pea mā ai: koeʻuhi kuo ke tokoniʻi au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo fakafiemālieʻi au.
