1–9 ʻOku ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue, pea ʻi heʻene ʻofa ki he tangata.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.
1 ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei lahi ho huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē!
Kuo ke fokotuʻu ho nāunau ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi.
2 Kuo ke tuʻutuʻuni mei he ngutu ʻoe kau valevale mo e kei huhu ʻae mālohi,
ko e meʻa ʻi ho ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke ke pule ke fakalongo pē ʻae fili mo e fakafāsifasi.
3 ʻO kau ka fakakaukau ki ho ngaahi langi, ko e ngāue ʻo ho louhiʻi nima,
ko e māhina mo e ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻaia naʻa ke fokotuʻu;
4 Ko e hā ʻae tangata ʻoku ke tokanga ai kiate ia?
Pe ko e foha ʻae tangata, ʻoku ke ʻaʻahi ai kiate ia?
5 He kuo ke ngaohi ia ke māʻulalo siʻi ʻi he ngaahi ʻāngelo,
pea kuo ke tatāʻaki ia ʻae nāunau mo e ongoongolelei.
6 Naʻa ke fakanofo ia ke ne pule ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima;
kuo ke tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe:
7 ʻAe fanga sipi kotoa pē mo e fanga pulu,
ʻio, mo e ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua;
8 Ko e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e ika ʻoe tahi,
mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻi he tahi.
9 ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki,
