Saame 43
1Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me!
1ʻE ʻOTUA, ke ke fakamaau au, ʻo langomakiʻi au telia ʻae puleʻanga angakovi: ke ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata kākā mo taʻeangatonu.
2For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
2He ko koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku mālohi: ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku ou ʻalu mamahi pe ʻi he taʻomia ʻe he fili?
3Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
3Ke ke fekau atu hoʻo maama mo hoʻo moʻoni: tuku ke na tataki au; tuku ke na ʻomi au ki ho moʻunga māʻoniʻoni, mo ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
4Ko ia te u toki ʻalu atu ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ki he ʻOtua ko hoku fiefiaʻanga lahi ʻaupito: ʻio, ʻi he haʻape te u fakamālō kiate koe, ʻE ʻOtua ko hoku ʻOtua.
5Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
5Ko e hā ʻoku ke mapelu ai ki lalo, ʻE hoku laumālie? pea ko e hā ʻoku ke maveuveu ai ʻi loto ʻiate au? ʻAmanaki lelei ki he ʻOtua: he ko e moʻoni te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia, ʻaia ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoku mata, mo hoku ʻOtua.
