Saame 108

1 Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, kuo maʻu hoku loto; te u hiva mo ʻatu ʻae fakamālō ʻaki hoku nāunau.

A song. A psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I would sing, I would make music; awake, my soul.

2 Ke ʻā hake ʻae saliteli mo e haʻape: te u ʻa hengihengi hake pe au.

Awake, harp and lyre; I would wake the dawn.

3 ‌ʻE Sihova, te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea te u hiva fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.

I would praise you among the peoples, O Lord; make music among the nations to you.

4 He ʻoku lahi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻo māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi langi: mo hoʻo moʻoni ʻoku aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ʻao.

For great to heaven is your love, and your faithfulness to the clouds.

5 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke māʻolunga lahi hake koe ʻi he ngaahi langi: pea ke māʻolunga hake ho nāunau ʻi māmani kotoa pē;

Be exalted, O God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.

6 Koeʻuhi ke hao ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ke ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo talia au.

So those you love may be rescued, save by your right hand and answer us.

7 Kuo folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni; te u fiefia, “Te u vaeua ʻa Sikemi, ʻo fuofua ʻae luo ʻo Sukote.

God did solemnly swear: ‘As victor will I divide Shechem, portion out the valley of Succoth.

8 ‌ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻa Kiliati; ʻoku ʻoʻoku mo Manase; ko hono mālohi foki ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko ʻeku fai fono ʻa Siuta.

Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my sceptre of rule,

9 Ko ʻeku ipu kaukauʻanga ʻa Moape; te u lī hoku topuvaʻe ki ʻolunga ki ʻItomi; te u vikiviki koeʻuhi ko Filisitia.”

Moab the pot that I wash in, on Edom I hurl my sandal, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.’

10 Ko hai te ne ʻomi au ki he kolo mālohi? Ko hai te ne aʻutaki au ki ʻItomi?

O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!

11 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai, te ke fai ia, ʻa koe kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu? Pea ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu, ʻE ʻOtua, mo ʻemau ngaahi kautau?

Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.

12 Ke ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tokoni ʻi he mamahi: he ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae tokoni ʻae tangata.

Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.

13 Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻOtua te tau fai mālohi ai: he ko ia ia te ne malaki hifo hotau ngaahi fili.

With God we shall yet do bravely, he himself will tread down our foes.
