1 Kapau ʻe ʻikai langa ʻe Sihova ʻae fale,

ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae ngāue ʻanautolu ʻoku nau langa ia:

kapau ʻe ʻikai tauhi ʻe Sihova ʻae kolo,

ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae ʻā ʻae tangata leʻo.

2 ‌ʻOku taʻeʻaonga hoʻomou tuʻu hake hengihengi pē,

mo nofo pē ʻo fuoloa ʻi he pō,

ke kai ʻae mā ʻoe mamahi:

he ʻoku ne foaki ʻae mohe ki heʻene pele.

3 Vakai, ko e fānau ko e tofiʻa meia Sihova:

pea ko e fua ʻoe manāva ko ʻene totongi.

4 Hangē ko e ngaahi ngahau ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata mālohi;

ʻoku pehē ʻae fānau ʻae talavou.

5 ‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku fonu ʻene hōfangahau ʻiate kinautolu:

ʻe ʻikai tenau mā, ka tenau lea ki he ngaahi fili ʻi he matapā.
