Saame 20

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ongoʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; ke maluʻi koe ʻe he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope;

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

2 ‌ʻO fekau hoʻo tokoni mei he faletapu, mo fakamālohi koe mei Saione;

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

3 ‌ʻO manatuʻi hoʻo meʻa foaki kotoa pē, pea finangalo lelei ki hoʻo feilaulau tutu; (Sila)

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Pea foaki kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto, ʻo fakahoko ʻaia ʻoku ke fakakaukau ki ai.

Grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.

5 Te mau fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea ʻi he huafa ʻo homau ʻOtua te mau fokotuʻu ʻemau ngaahi fuka: ke tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kole kotoa pē.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene pani; te ne ongoʻi ia mei hono potu toputapu māʻoniʻoni ʻaki ʻae mālohi fakamoʻui ʻo hono nima toʻomataʻu.

Now I know that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 ‌ʻOku falala ʻae niʻihi ki he ngaahi saliote, mo e niʻihi ki he fanga hoosi: ka te tau manatuʻi ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 Kuo lī ki lalo ʻo tō ʻakinautolu: ka kuo tau tuʻuhake, ʻo tuʻu ki ʻolunga.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright.

9 ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakamoʻui ʻae tuʻi ke ke ongoʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi heʻemau ui atu.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
