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.

In finem, In hymnis David. Exaudi Deus deprecationem meam: intende orationi meæ.

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.

A finibus terræ ad te clamavi: dum anxiaretur cor meum, in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,

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

quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.

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

Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula: protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.

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

Quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam: dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

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

Dies super dies regis adiicies: annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis.

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.

Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem eius quis requiret?

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.

Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi: ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
