Saame 146
1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Fakamālō kia Sihova, ʻE hoku laumālie.
Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul.
2 Te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui: te u hiva fakamālō ki hoku ʻOtua ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3 ʻOua naʻa mou falala ki he ngaahi ʻeiki, pe ki he foha ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ʻiate ia.
Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.
4 ʻOku mole atu ʻene mānava, pea ʻoku foki ia ki he kelekele; ʻoku mole ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻene ngaahi mahalo.
His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope ko hono tokoni, pea ko ʻene ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua:
Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 ʻAia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi, mo māmani, ʻae tahi mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: pea ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae moʻoni ʻo lauikuonga:
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
7 ʻAia ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakamaau koeʻuhi ko e kakai fakamālohia: ʻoku ne foaki ʻae meʻakai ki he fiekaia. ʻOku vete ʻe Sihova ʻae kau pōpula:
who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
8 ʻOku fakaʻā ʻe Sihova ʻae kui: ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu kuo mapelu ki lalo: ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he angatonu:
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.
9 ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai muli; ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tamai mate mo e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti: ka ko e hala ʻoe angahala ʻoku ne fulihi ia.
The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata, ʻio, ko ho ʻOtua, ʻE Saione, ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD.
