Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova; he naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: naʻaku falala foki kia Sihova; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u hekea.
ʻAhiʻahiʻi au, ʻe Sihova, ʻo ʻiloʻi au;
ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto.
He ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa pea naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni.
Naʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau tangata angakovi,
pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki loto mo e kau mālualoi.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he fakataha ʻoe kau fai kovi;
pea ʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau angahala.
Te u fanofano hoku nima ʻi he māʻoniʻoni:
pea ʻe pehē pe ʻeku kāpui ho ʻesifeilaulau, ʻE Sihova:
Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi,
pea fakamatala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻofa ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ho fale,
mo e potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa hoʻo ʻafio.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakataha hoku laumālie mo e kau angahala,
pe ko ʻeku moʻui mo e kau tangata pani toto:
ʻAkinautolu ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae pauʻu,
pea ʻoku fonu honau nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakahē.
Ka ko au, te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu:
ke ke huhuʻi au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au.
ʻOku tuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu tokamālie:
ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kakai te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
