Kuo liunga lahi ʻenau fakamamahiʻi au talu ʻeku kei talavou:

2 "Kuo liunga lahi ʻenau fakamamahiʻi au talu ʻeku talavou:

ka naʻe ʻikai tenau mālohi kiate au.

3 Naʻe keli ʻae kau tangata keli ʻi hoku tuʻa:

naʻa nau ngaohi ke lōloa ʻenau ngaahi keli.

4 ‌ʻOku angatonu ʻa Sihova:

kuo tuʻusi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi afo ʻae kakai angahala."

5 Tuku ke puputuʻu pea foki kimui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa ki Saione.

6 Tuku kenau tatau mo e mohuku ʻi he tatā ʻoe fale,

7 ‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai fakapito ʻaki ʻe he tangata tuʻusi ʻa hono nima;

pe ko e fatafata ʻo ia ʻoku ne nonoʻo ʻae ngaahi ʻū mohuku.

8 Pea ʻoku ʻikai lea ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻalu ʻi ai,

ʻo pehē, "Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae monūʻia meia Sihova:

ʻoku mau tāpuaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova."
