pea fakamatala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.

8 ‌ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻofa ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ho fale,

mo e potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa hoʻo ʻafio.

9 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakataha hoku laumālie mo e kau angahala,

10 ‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae pauʻu,

pea ʻoku fonu honau nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakahē.

11 Ka ko au, te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu:

ke ke huhuʻi au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au.

12 ‌ʻOku tuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu tokamālie:

ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kakai te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
