1 Kapau naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu,

ʻoku totonu ke lea ni ʻa ʻIsileli;

2 "Kapau naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu,

ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kiate kitautolu:

3 Pehē, kuo nau folo hifo leva ʻakitautolu,

ʻi he tupu ʻenau ʻita kiate kitautolu;

4 Pehē, kuo lōfia ʻakitautolu ʻe he ngaahi vai,

kuo tafe ʻae vaitafe ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie:

5 Pea ʻalu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe laukau ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie."

6 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova,

ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakitautolu ko e meʻakai ki honau nifo.

7 Kuo hao hotau laumālie ʻo hangē ko e manupuna mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele:

kuo maumauʻi ʻae tauhele, pea kuo tau hao ai.

8 Ko hotau tokoni ʻoku ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
