1–8 Ko e hūfanga malu ʻa Sihova.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ʻi heʻene hola meia ʻApisalomi ko hono foha.
‌ʻE Sihova, kuo tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakamamahiʻi au!
ʻOku tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate au.
‌ʻOku tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻaia ʻoku pehē ki hoku laumālie,
“ʻOku ʻikai ha tokoni kiate ia ʻi he ʻOtua.”
Sila.
Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ko e fakaū kiate au;
ko hoku nāunau, mo e hiki hake ʻa hoku ʻulu.
Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo,
pea naʻa ne ongoʻi au mei hono moʻunga māʻoniʻoni.
Sila.
Ne u tokoto hifo ʻo mohe; pea u ʻā hake;
he ko Sihova naʻa ne tokoniʻi au.
‌ʻE ʻikai te u manavahē ʻi he ngaahi toko mano ʻoe kakai,
ʻaia ʻoku angatuʻu ʻo kāpui au.
Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova;
fakamoʻui au, ʻE hoku ʻOtua:
he kuo ke taaʻi hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻi honau hui kouʻahe
kuo ke fesiʻi ʻae kau nifo ʻoe angakovi.
‌ʻOku ʻia Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui:
ko hoʻo tāpuaki ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kakai.
Sila.
