Psalms 84

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku lelei lahi ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki!

2 My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

‌ʻOku holi hoku laumālie, ʻio, ʻoku ou vaivai ʻi he fie ʻalu ki he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻo Sihova; ʻoku tangi kalanga hoku loto mo hoku kakano ki he ʻOtua moʻui.

3 (Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood, ) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.

‌ʻIo, kuo ʻilo ʻe he hikiʻi manupuna ʻae fale, mo e kulukulu ha pununga maʻana, ʻaia te ne tuku ki ai ʻene fānau, ʻio, ko ho ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko hoku Tuʻi, mo hoku ʻOtua.

4 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi ho fale: tenau kei fakafetaʻi pe kiate koe. (Sila)

5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻiate koe hono mālohi; ʻoku ʻi hono loto ʻae ngaahi hala.

6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.

Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi he toafa ʻo Peka ʻoku ngaohi ia ko e matavai; ʻoku fakafonu foki ʻe he ʻuha ʻae ngaahi lepa.

7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

‌ʻOku nau ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ki he mālohi, ʻo fakahā taki taha kotoa pē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Saione.

8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

‌ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ke ke fanongo ki heʻeku lotu: fakafanongo, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope. (Sila)

9 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,

Vakai, ʻE ʻOtua ko homau fakaū, mo ke ʻafio ki he fofonga ʻo hoʻo pani.

10 For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.

He ʻoku lelei lahi hake ʻae ʻaho pe taha ʻi ho ngaahi loto ʻā, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha afe. ʻOku ou fili muʻa ke u nofo ko e leʻo matapā ʻi he fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku nofo ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe kovi.

11 For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

He ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ko e laʻā ia mo e fakaū: ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e nāunau: ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ha meʻa lelei ʻe taha meiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva totonu.

12 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku falala kiate koe.
