Saame 61

1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fanongo ki heʻeku tangi; tokanga ki heʻeku lotu.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.

2 Te u tangi kiate koe mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoka taʻomia hoku loto: ke ke tataki au ki he maka ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate au.

From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I.

3 He naʻa ke hoko ko hoku ungakiʻi, ko e fale māʻolunga pea mālohi ki he fili.

For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.

4 Te u nofomaʻu ʻi ho fale fehikitaki ʻo taʻengata: te u falala ki he malu ʻo ho kapakau. (Sila)

I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. (Selah)

5 He kuo ke fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava, ʻE ʻOtua: kuo ke foaki kiate au ʻae tofiʻa ʻokinautolu ʻoku manavahē ki ho huafa.

For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.

6 Te ke fakatolonga ʻae moʻui ʻae tuʻi, mo hono ngaahi taʻu ʻo hangē mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.

Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.

7 ‌ʻE nofomaʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua taʻengata: ke ke teuteu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni ʻaia te na fakamoʻui ia. Ko ia te u hiva fakamālō ai ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.

8 Ko ia te u hiva fakamālō ai ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.
