1 ʻOku fakamālō ʻae palōfita ki he ʻOtua. 2 ʻOku ne pehē, te ne fakamaau māʻoniʻoni. 4 ʻOku ne valoki ʻae laukau ko e meʻa ʻi he pule ʻae ʻOtua. 9 ʻOku ne fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻo tokanga ke fai totonu.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ʻAli-Tasikiti, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa ʻAsafi.

1‌ʻOku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe,

ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe:

he ʻoku fakahā ʻe hoʻo ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻoku ofi ho huafa.

2“ʻO kau ka maʻu ʻae fakataha te u fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.

3Kuo movetevete ʻae fonua mo hono kakai:

ʻoku ou poupou hake hono ngaahi pou. Sila.

4Naʻaku pehē ki he kau vale, ʻoua naʻa mou fai fakavalevale:

pea ki he kau angakovi, ʻoua te mou hiki hake ʻae nifo.

5‌ʻOua naʻa hiki ki ʻolunga homou nifo:

ʻoua te mou lea ʻi he kia kekeva.”

6He ʻoku ʻikai haʻu mei he potu hahake, pe mei he potu lulunga,

pe mei he potu tonga ʻae hakeakiʻi.

7He ko e fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua:

ʻoku ʻohifo ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha, kae fokotuʻu hake ʻae tokotaha.

8He ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻae ipu,

pea ʻoku kulokula ʻae uaine:

kuo pito ia ʻi he meʻa kuo huʻi ki ai;

pea ʻoku lilingi ʻe ia mei ai:

ka ko hono efe ʻo ia, ʻe tatau ia ʻe he angakovi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻo inu ia.

9Ka ko au te u fakahā ʻo taʻengata;

te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.

10Te u tutuʻu ke motu ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau angahala;

ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.
