1 ‌ʻO kau ka kole, fanongo mai kiate au, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni:

naʻa ke halahalaʻi au mei he mamahi;

ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au, pea fanongo ki heʻeku lotu.

2 ‌ʻAe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe ngata ʻafē hoʻomou liliu hoku nāunau ko e meʻa fakamā?

ʻe ngata ʻafē hoʻomou ʻofa ki he meʻa vaʻinga pe, ʻo kumi ki he loi? Sila.

3 Ka mou ʻilo kuo vaheʻi ʻe Sihova maʻana ʻaia ʻoku angalelei:

ʻe fanongo ʻe Sihova ʻo kau ka kole kiate ia.

4 Mou manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala:

fakakaukau mo homou loto ʻi homou mohenga, pea mou fakalongo pe. Sila.

5 Feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau māʻoniʻoni,

pea mou falala kia Sihova.

6 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he tokolahi, "Ko hai te ne fakahā ha lelei kiate kitautolu?"

ʻE Sihova, ke ke hiki hake kiate kimautolu ʻae maama ʻo ho fofonga.

7 Kuo ke ʻai ki hoku loto ʻae fiefia lahi hake ʻi he fiefia

ʻi he kuonga naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ai ʻenau uite mo e uaine.

8 Te u tokoto hifo ʻi he fiemālie, ʻo mohe: he ko koe pē,

ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke pule ke u nofo lelei.
