Saame 125

1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. Ko kinautolu ʻoku falala kia Sihova tenau tatau mo e moʻunga ko Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai siʻi faʻa hiki, kae tuʻumaʻu pe ʻo taʻengata.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth for ever.

2 Hangē ko e takatakai ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga ʻa Selūsalema, ʻoku takatakai pehē ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai mei he ʻaho ni ʻo lauikuonga.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about his people, Henceforth even for ever!

3 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tuku maʻu ʻae tokotoko ʻoe angahala ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe angatonu; telia naʻa mafao atu ʻe he angatonu honau nima ki he angahala.

For the sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

4 ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku angalelei, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku angatonu ʻi honau loto.

Do good, O LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in heart!

5 Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nau afe ki honau ngaahi hala pikopiko, ʻe tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova fakataha mo e kakai fai kovi: ka ʻe hoko ʻae melino ki ʻIsileli.

But such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
