To the choirmaster - of [the] servant of Yahweh of David who he spoke - to Yahweh [the] words of the song this on [the] day [when] he delivered Yahweh him from [the] hand of all enemies his and from [the] hand of Saul. And he said I love you O Yahweh strength my.
2 Ko hoku makatuʻu ʻa Sihova, mo ʻeku kolo, mo hoku fakamoʻui; ko hoku ʻOtua, ko hoku mālohi, ʻaia te u falala ki ai; ko hoku fakaū, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui, mo hoku hūfanga māʻolunga.
Yahweh - [is] rock my and stronghold my and deliverer my God my [is] rock my [whom] I take refuge in him shield my and [the] horn of salvation my refuge my.

[the one] to be praised I call out to Yahweh and from enemies my I am delivered.

They encompassed me [the] cords of death and [the] torrents of worthlessness they overwhelmed me.

[the] cords of Sheol they surrounded me they confronted me [the] snares of death. (Sheol h7585)
6 ʻI heʻeku mamahi naʻaku ui kia Sihova, mo tangi ki hoku ʻOtua: pea ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo mei hono faletapu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻeku tangi ki hono ʻao, ʻio, ki hono fofonga.
When it was distress to me - I called out to Yahweh and to God my I cried for help he heard from temple his voice my and cry for help my before him - it came in ears his.
7 Naʻe ngalulu ai ʻa māmani ʻo tetetete; naʻe ngaue mo lulululu foki ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, koeʻuhi ko ʻene houhau.
And it shook and it quaked - the earth and [the] foundations of [the] mountains they trembled and they shook back and forth for it burned to him.
8 Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu ʻi hono houhau, pea naʻe keina ʻe he afi mei hono ngutu: naʻe tutuʻaki ia ʻae fefie.
It went up smoke - in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.
9 Naʻa ne ofeʻi hifo foki ʻae ngaahi langi, ʻo hāʻele hifo: pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae poʻuli.
And he bent down [the] heavens and he came down and thick darkness [was] under feet his.
10 Naʻe heka ia ki he selupi, pea hāʻele ia: ʻio, naʻe hāʻele ia ʻi he ngaahi kapakau ʻoe matangi.
And he rode on a cherub and he flew and he soared on [the] wings of [the] wind.
11 Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae poʻuli ko hono fakalilolilo: ko hono ʻafioʻanga naʻe kāpui ia ʻe he vai fakapoʻuli mo e ngaahi ʻao matolu ʻoe langi.
He made darkness - covering his around him canopy his darkness of waters dark clouds of clouds.
12 ʻI he ulo mei hono ʻao naʻe mole atu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻao matolu, ʻae ʻuha maka mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi.
From [the] brightness before him dark clouds his they passed on hail and coals of fire.

And he thundered in the heavens - Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave forth voice his hail and coals of fire.
14 ʻIo, naʻa ne fana atu ʻene ngaahi ngahau, pea veteki ʻakinautolu; pea ne fana ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila, ʻo veuveuki ʻakinautolu.
And he sent out arrows his and he scattered them and lightning flashes he shot and he routed them.
15 Naʻe toki hā ai ʻae ngaahi tafeʻanga ʻoe vai, pea fakahā ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani ʻi ho houhau, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he matangi ʻoe mānava ʻo ho houhau.
And they appeared - channels of water and they were uncovered [the] foundations of [the] world from rebuke your O Yahweh from [the] breath of [the] breath of nostril[s] your.

And he brought out me to roomy place he rescued me for he delighted in me.

He has dealt with me Yahweh according to righteousness my according to [the] cleanness of hands my he has repaid to me.
