Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame. Mou kalanga fiefia ki he ʻOtua, ʻae fonua kotoa pē:
Hiva ʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo hono huafa:
fakaongoongolelei ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.
Mou pehē ki he ʻOtua, “ʻOku ke fakamanavahē koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue!
Ko e meʻa ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi ʻe fakamoʻulaloa ai ʻekinautolu ʻe ho ngaahi fili kiate koe.
ʻE hū ʻa māmani kotoa pē kiate koe,
ʻonau hiva kiate koe;
te nau hiva ki ho huafa.” Sila.
Haʻu ʻo mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua:
ʻoku fakamanavahē ia ʻi heʻene ngāue ki he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata.
Naʻa ne liliu ʻae tahi ko e fonua mōmoa:
naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he fuʻu vaitafe ʻi honau vaʻe:
naʻa tau fiefia ʻiate ia ʻi ai.
ʻOku pule ia ʻi heʻene māfimafi ʻo taʻengata;
ʻoku vakai ʻe hono fofonga ki he ngaahi puleʻanga:
ʻoua naʻa hiki hake ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau angatuʻu. Sila.
ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kakai, mou fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua,
pea fai ke ongo ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakamālō kiate ia:
ʻAia ʻoku ne poupou hotau laumālie ʻi he moʻui,
pea ʻikai tuku hotau vaʻe ke ngaue.
He kuo ke ʻiloʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻE ʻOtua:
kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻoe siliva.
Naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he kupenga;
naʻa ke ʻai ʻae mahaki ki homau kongaloto.
Naʻa ke tuku ke laka ʻae kakai ʻi homau ʻulu;
naʻa mau ʻalu pe ʻi he afi mo e vai:
ka naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu mahu.
Te u hū ki ho fale mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu:
te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ngaahi fuakava,
ʻAia kuo ongo atu mei hoku loungutu,
pea lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ngutu, ʻi heʻeku ʻi he mamahi.
Te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻae fanga manu sino,
mo e meʻa namu kakala ʻoe fanga sipitangata;
te u ʻatu ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi. Sila.
Haʻu ʻo fanongo, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua,
pea te u fakahā ʻaia kuo ne fai ki hoku laumālie.
Naʻaku tangi kiate ia ʻaki hoku ngutu,
pea naʻe fakamālō ʻa hoku ʻelelo kiate ia.
Kapau te u tokanga ki he kovi ʻi hoku loto,
ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au:
Ka ko e moʻoni kuo ongoʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua;
naʻe tokanga ia ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu.
Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻeku lotu,
pe ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻiate au.
