[1] ʻE ʻOTUA, kuo maʻu hoku loto; te u hiva mo ʻatu ʻae fakamālō ʻaki hoku nāunau.
[2] Ke ʻā hake ʻae saliteli mo e haʻape: te u ʻa hengihengi hake pe au.
[3] ʻE Sihova, te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea te u hiva fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
[4] He ʻoku lahi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻo māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi langi: mo hoʻo moʻoni ʻoku aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ʻao.
[5] ʻE ʻOtua, ke māʻolunga lahi hake koe ʻi he ngaahi langi: pea ke māʻolunga hake ho nāunau ʻi māmani kotoa pē;
[6] Koeʻuhi ke hao ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ke ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo talia au.
[7] Kuo folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni; te u fiefia, “Te u vaeua ʻa Sikemi, ʻo fuofua ʻae luo ʻo Sukote.
[8] ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻa Kiliati; ʻoku ʻoʻoku mo Manase; ko hono mālohi foki ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko ʻeku fai fono ʻa Siuta.
[9] Ko ʻeku ipu kaukauʻanga ʻa Moape; te u lī hoku topuvaʻe ki ʻolunga ki ʻItomi; te u vikiviki koeʻuhi ko Filisitia.”
[10] Ko hai te ne ʻomi au ki he kolo mālohi? Ko hai te ne aʻutaki au ki ʻItomi?
[11] ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai, te ke fai ia, ʻa koe kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu? Pea ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu, ʻE ʻOtua, mo ʻemau ngaahi kautau?
[12] Ke ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tokoni ʻi he mamahi: he ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae tokoni ʻae tangata.
[13] Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻOtua te tau fai mālohi ai: he ko ia ia te ne malaki hifo hotau ngaahi fili.
