1 ‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae angakovi,

pe tuʻu ʻi he hala ʻoe kau angahala,

pe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe manuki.

2 Ka ko ʻene fiefia ʻoku ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova;

pea ko ʻene fono ʻoku ne fakalaulauloto ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.

3 Pea ʻe tatau ia mo e ʻakau kuo tō ki he veʻe vaitafe,

ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi hono fua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu;

pea ko hono lau foki ʻe ʻikai mae;

pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai ʻe monūʻia.

4 ‌ʻOku ʻikai pehē ʻae angakovi:

ka ʻoku tatau ia mo e kafukafu ʻaia ʻoku vilingia, ʻi he matangi.

5 Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ʻae angakovi ʻi he fakamaau,

pe ko e angahala ʻi he fakataha ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.

6 He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe Sihova ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni:

ka ko e hala ʻoe angakovi ʻe ʻauha ia.
