1 Naʻa ku tatali faʻa kātaki pe kia Sihova;

pea ne tokanga kiate au, ʻone ongoʻi ʻeku tangi.

2 Pea naʻa ne toʻo hake au mei he luo fakailifia,

mei he ʻumea pelepela,

ʻo ne fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ki he maka,

ʻo fakamaʻu hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

3 Pea kuo ne ʻai ʻae hiva foʻou ki hoku ngutu, ʻio, ʻae fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua:

ʻe mamata ki ai ʻae tokolahi, pea manavahē, pea tenau falala kia Sihova.

4 ‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku falala kia Sihova,

pea ʻikai tokanga ia ki he kakai laukau, mo kinautolu ʻoku afe ki he loi.

5 ‌ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻaia kuo ke fai,

mo ho finangalo lelei kiate kimautolu:

ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau fakaholo ia kiate koe:

kapau te u fie fakahā ʻo lea ki ai, ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ia, ʻe ʻikai faʻa laua.

6 Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai;

ka ko hoku telinga kuo ke fakaava:

ko e feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala naʻe ʻikai te ke fekau.

7 Pea naʻaku toki pehē, "Vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu:

kuo tohi ʻi he tohi tākai ʻiate au,

8 ‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fiefia ke fai ho finangalo:

ʻio, ʻoku ʻi hoku loto hoʻo fono."

9 Naʻaku malangaʻaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakataha lahi:

vakai, naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi hoku loungutu, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi.

10 Naʻe ʻikai te u fakafufū hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi hoku loto;

naʻaku fakahā hoʻo angatonu mo hoʻo fakamoʻui:

naʻe ʻikai te u fakalilolilo ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni mei he fakataha lahi.

11 ‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻofi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻiate au:

tuku ke tauhi maʻuaipē au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni.

12 He kuo kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi kovi taʻefaʻalaua:

kuo puke au ʻe heʻeku ngaahi hia, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te u faʻa hanga hake;

ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu:

ko ia kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku loto.

13 ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke finangalo lelei ke fakamoʻui au:

ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai vave ke tokoniʻi au.

14 Tuku ke mā mo puputuʻu fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau kumi hoku laumālie ke fakaʻauha ia;

tuku ke fakafoki kimui mo mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau holi ke u kovi.

15 Tuku ke paea ʻakinautolu ko e totongi ʻo ʻenau kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē kiate au, "Ha ha."

16 Tuku ke fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi kiate koe:

tuku ke lea pehē maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fakamoʻui,

"Ke ongoongolelei ʻa Sihova."

17 Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo paea;

ka ʻoku finangalo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au:

ko koe ko hoku tokoni mo hoku fakamoʻui;

ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuai,

ʻE hoku ʻOtua.
