Saame 54

1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita, ʻi he haʻu ʻae kakai Sifi, ʻonau pehē kia Saula, ʻIkai ʻoku fufū ʻa Tevita ʻiate kimautolu? Fakamoʻui au, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi ho huafa, mo ke fakamaau au ʻi ho mālohi.

Save me, O Elohim, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

2 Fanongo mai ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE ʻOtua fakafanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.

Hear my prayer, O Elohim; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 He kuo tuʻu hake kiate au ʻae kau muli, pea ʻoku kumi hoku laumālie ʻe he kau fakamālohi: ʻoku ʻikai te nau fokotuʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻi honau ʻao. (Sila)

For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set Elohim before them. (Selah)

4 Vakai, ko hoku tokoni ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku poupou hoku laumālie ʻae ʻEiki.

Behold, Elohim is mine helper: YHWH is with them that uphold my soul.

5 ‌ʻE totongi ʻe ia ʻaki ʻae kovi ki hoku ngaahi fili: ke ke motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻi ho moʻoni.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

6 Te u ʻatu fiemālie pē ʻae feilaulau kiate koe: te u fakamālō ki ho huafa, ʻE Sihova he ʻoku lelei ia.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O YHWH; for it is good.

7 He kuo ne fakamoʻui au mei he mamahi kotoa pē: pea kuo mamata ʻe hoku mata ki hoku ngaahi fili.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
