1 Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo;

ne u kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo.

2 Naʻaku lilingi ʻeku fakakaukau ʻi hono ʻao;

ne u fakahā ʻi hono ʻao ʻeku mamahi.

3 ‌ʻI he taʻomia ʻa hoku laumālie,

ne ke ʻilo ai hoku ʻaluʻanga.

ʻI he hala ne u ʻeveʻeva ai kuo nau ʻai fufū ʻae tauhele kiate au.

4 Ne u sio, mo vakai ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu,

ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne ʻiloʻi au:

naʻe ʻikai haʻaku hūfanga;

naʻe ʻikai tokanga ha tangata ki hoku laumālie.

5 Naʻaku tangi kiate koe,

ʻE Sihova; ne u pehē,

Ko koe ko hoku hūfanga,

mo hoku ʻinasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.

6 Ke ke tokanga ki heʻeku tangi;

he ʻoku ou vaivai ʻaupito:

fakamoʻui au mei hoku kau fakatanga;

he ʻoku nau mālohi hake kiate au.

7 ‌ʻOmi hoku laumālie mei he fale fakapōpula,

koeʻuhi ke u fakamālō ai ki ho huafa:

ʻe kāpui au ʻe he angatonu;

he te ke fai lelei lahi kiate au.
