[1] ʻE SIHOVA, fanongo ki heʻeku lotu, pea tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku tangi kiate koe.
[2] ʻOua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ou mamahi ai; fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga kiate au: ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ou ui ai ke vave hoʻo talia au.
[3] He kuo fakaʻosi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hangē ko e kohu, pea kuo vela hoku ngaahi hui ʻo hangē ko e veʻe tofunanga.
[4] Kuo taaʻi hoku loto, pea kuo mae ʻo hangē ko e mohuku; ko ia kuo ngalo ai ʻiate au ke kai ʻeku mā.
[5] Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻo ʻeku toʻe, ko ia ʻoku piki ai hoku ngaahi hui ki hoku kili.
[6] ʻOku ou tatau mo e pelikani ʻoe toafa: ʻoku ou hangē ko e lulu ʻoe potu lala.
[7] ʻOku ou leʻo, pea u tatau mo e kihiʻi manupuna ʻoku tokotaha pē ʻi he tuʻahivi ʻoe fale.
[8] ʻOku manuki kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi fili ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku mata lili kiate au kuo nau fuakava ke angatuʻu kiate au.
[9] He kuo u kai ʻae efuefu ʻo hangē ko e mā, mo huʻi ʻaki hoku inu ʻae loʻimata,
[10] Koeʻuhi ko ho tuputāmaki mo ho houhau: he kuo ke hiki hake au, pea lī au ki lalo.
[11] ʻOku tatau hoku ngaahi ʻaho mo e ʻata ʻoku mole atu; pea kuo u mae ʻo hangē ko e mohuku.
[12] Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, te ke tolonga ʻo taʻengata; mo hoʻo fakaʻilonga ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
[13] Te ke tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻaloʻofa ki Saione: he ko e ʻaho ke tokoni ia, ʻio, ko e ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni kuo hoko mai.
[14] He ʻoku fiemālie ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono ngaahi maka, pea ʻoku nau ʻofa ki hono efu ʻoʻona.
[15] Ko ia ʻe manavahē ai ʻae hiteni ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho nāunau.
[16] ʻOka toe langa hake ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione, ʻe fakahā ia ʻi hono nāunau.
[17] Te ne tokanga ki he lotu ʻae masiva, pea ʻe ʻikai manukiʻi ʻenau hū.
[18] ʻE tohi eni maʻae toʻutangata ʻe haʻu: pea ko e kakai ʻe fakatupu te nau fakamālō kia Sihova.
[19] He kuo ʻafio hifo ia mei he māʻolunga ʻo hono faletapu; naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi ki māmani;
[20] Ke ne fanongo ki he toʻe ʻoe pōpula; ke vete ʻakinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke mate;
[21] Ke fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻi Saione, mo ʻene fakamālō ʻi Selūsalema;
[22] ʻOka fakataha ʻae kakai, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, ke tauhi ʻa Sihova.
[23] Naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi hoku mālohi ʻi he hala; naʻa ne fakanounou hoku ngaahi ʻaho.
[24] Naʻaku pehē, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ʻave au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku ngaahi ʻaho: ko ho ngaahi taʻu ʻoku tolonga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
[25] Naʻa ke ʻai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani; pea koe ngaahi langi koe ngaue ia ʻa ho nima.
[26] ʻE ʻauha ia, ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, ʻio, ʻe fakaʻaʻau kotoa pē ia ke motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu; pea hangē ko e pulupulu te ke fatufatu ia, pea ʻe fakakehe ia:
[27] Ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi taʻu.
[28] ʻE tolonga ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu honau hako ʻi ho ʻao.
