He ʻoku lelei ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ke siʻaki, ʻo kapau ʻe maʻu ia ʻi he fakafetaʻi:
He ʻoku lelei ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ke siʻaki, ʻo kapau ʻe maʻu ia ʻi he fakafetaʻi: He kuo fakangofua ia ʻe he folofola ʻae ʻOtua mo e lotu.
Pea ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo ne fakamālohiʻi au, ʻi heʻene lau au ko e angatonu, ʻo ne fakahoko au ki he ngaue;
Ko ia ʻoku ou enginaki, ke fuofua fai ʻae kole, mo e ngaahi lotu, mo e hūfekina maʻu, mo e fakafetaʻi, koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē;
ʻO fakafetaʻi ki he Tamai, ʻaia kuo ne ngaohi ʻakitautolu ke tau taau ke kau ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni ʻi he maama:
Kuo aka mo langa hake ʻiate ia, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, ʻo hangē ko e akonekina ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou tupulekina ai ʻi he fakafetaʻi.
Pea tuku ke pule ʻi homou loto ʻae melino ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai foki ʻi he sino pe taha; pea ke mou fakafetaʻi.

Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni:

ʻAtu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua;

"Ke ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua."
ʻOku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe,
ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe:

pea ki hono ngaahi lotoʻā mo e fakamālō:

Kuo ke liliu kiate au ʻeku tangi ko e meʻe hopohopo:
kuo ke vete hoku tauangaʻa, pea fakavala ʻaki au ʻae fiefia;
Koeʻuhi ke hiva ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻelelo ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa longo pē.
ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua,
te u ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻo taʻengata.
Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova,
ui ki hono huafa,
fakaongoongo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
Mou tuku ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku ne angalelei;
pea ʻoku taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
