Saame 70

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ko e fakamanatu. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au; ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai vave ke tokoni au.

For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

2 Tuku ke mā mo puputuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi hoku laumālie: tuku ke fakafoki kimui, mo fakamaveuveu, ʻakinautolu ʻoku holi ke u kovi.

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

3 Tuku ke foki kimui ʻakinautolu, ko e totongi ʻo ʻenau kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē, Ha ha.

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonour.

4 Tuku ke fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi kiate koe: tuku ke lea pehē maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, “Ke ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua.”

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.

5 Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo paea: ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke haʻu vave kiate au: ko koe ko hoku tokoni mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke tatali.

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
