1 Fanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku lotu:

fakahaofi ʻeku moʻui mei he manavahē ki he fili.

2 Fakafufū au mei he filioʻi ʻae kau angahala;

mei he angatuʻu fakamaveuveu ʻoe kau fai kovi:

3 ‌ʻOku nau fakamata honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e heletā,

ʻonau teke ʻenau kaufana ke fanaʻi ʻenau ngaahi ngahau, ʻio, ko e ngaahi lea kona.

4 Koeʻuhi ke nau fana ʻi he lilo ki he haohaoa:

ʻoku nau fana fakafokifā pe kiate ia, ʻo taʻemanavahē.

5 ‌ʻOku nau fetokoniʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa kovi:

ʻoku nau fakakaukau ke tau ʻae ngaahi tauhele ʻi he lilo;

ʻoku nau pehē, "Ko hai te ne mamata kiate kimautolu?"

6 ‌ʻOku nau kumi ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi kovi ʻoku nau faʻa ʻeke ke lahi:

ʻoku taumamaʻo ʻae mahalo mo e loto ʻokinautolu kotoa pē.

7 Ka ʻe fana ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae ngahau;

te nau lavea fakafokifā pe.

8 Ko ia tenau ngaohi honau ʻelelo ke tō kiate kinautolu:

ʻe hola ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate kinautolu.

9 Pea ʻe manavahē ʻae tangata kotoa pē,

ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻOtua;

he tenau fakakaukau poto ki heʻene ngāue.

10 ‌ʻE fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻEiki,

pea falala kiate ia;

pea vikiviki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu ʻi loto.
