1–6 Ko e tui ʻa Tevita ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.

1Ko hoku tauhi ʻa Sihova;

ʻe ʻikai te u masiva.

2‌ʻOku ne fakatokoto au ʻi he ngaahi ngoue lau maʻuiʻui:

ʻoku ne tataki au ki he veʻe vai ʻoku tafetafemālie.

3‌ʻOku ne fakamoʻui hoku laumālie:

ʻoku ne tataki au ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni koeʻuhi ko hono huafa.

4‌ʻIo, neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe malumalu ʻoe mate,

ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki ha kovi:

he ʻoku ke ʻiate au; ko hoʻo vaʻa ʻakau mo ho tokotoko ʻoku na fakafiemālieʻi au.

5‌ʻOku ke teuteu ʻae keinangaʻanga maʻaku ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ngaahi fili:

ʻoku ke pani ʻaki hoku ʻulu ʻae lolo;

ʻoku fonu mahuohua ʻa ʻeku ipu.

6Ko e moʻoni ʻe muimui ʻiate au ʻae lelei mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku moʻui:

pea te u nofo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻo lauikuonga.
