1 Te u tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova

ko hoku makatuʻu; ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi au:

telia, ʻi hoʻo taʻeʻafioʻi au,

te u hoko ʻo tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.

2 Ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu, ʻo kau ka tangi kiate koe,

ʻo kau ka hiki hake hoku nima ki ho folofolaʻanga māʻoniʻoni.

3 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke toho au mo e kau angahala,

pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi,

ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea mālie ki honau kaungāʻapi,

ka ʻoku ʻi honau loto ʻae kovi.

4 Te ke tuku kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngāue, ʻo fakatatau ki he kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga:

ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻa honau nima; ʻange kiate kinautolu honau ʻinanga.

5 Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova,

mo e ngāue ʻa hono nima,

te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai langa hake ʻakinautolu.

6 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova,

ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.

7 Ko hoku mālohi mo hoku fakaū ʻa Sihova;

naʻe falala kiate ia hoku loto, pea kuo tokoniʻi au:

ko ia ʻoku fiefia lahi ai hoku loto;

pea ʻi heʻeku hiva te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia.

8 Ko e mālohi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu,

pea ko e mālohi fakamoʻui ia ʻo ʻene pani.

9 Ke ke fakamoʻui hoʻo kakai,

mo tāpuaki ho tofiʻa:

tauhi ʻakinautolu foki,

pea hiki hake ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata.
