1 Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku mamahi,

pea naʻa ne ongoʻi au.

2 ‌ʻE Sihova, fakahaofi hoku laumālie mei he loungutu loi,

pea mei he ʻelelo kākā.

3 Ko e hā ʻe ʻatu kiate koe?

He ko e hā ʻe fai kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻelelo kākā?

4 ‌ʻAe ngaahi ngahau māsila ʻae tangata mālohi,

mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi ʻoe sunipa.

5 ‌ʻOku ou malaʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻāunofo ʻi Meseki,

koeʻuhi ko ʻeku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Keta!

6 Kuo nofo ʻo fuoloa ʻa hoku laumālie

fakataha mo ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki he melino.

7 ‌ʻOku ou loto ki he melino:

ka ʻi heʻeku lea ʻoku nau fie tau.
