Saame 113

1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Fakamālō, ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.

Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.

2 Fakafetaʻi ki he huafa ʻo Sihova mei he ʻaho ni ʻo taʻengata.

Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!

3 Ke fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, mei he hopo hake ʻoe laʻā ʻo aʻu ki heʻene tō hifo.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.

4 ‌ʻOku māʻolunga hake ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, mo hono nāunau ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi langi.

Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

5 Ko hai ʻoku na tatau mo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi ʻolunga,

Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;

6 ‌ʻOku ne fakamoʻulaloaʻi ia ke ʻafio ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he langi, pea mo māmani!

Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

7 ‌ʻOku ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae masiva mei he efu, mo ne hiki hake ʻae paea mei he tuʻunga ʻotoʻota;

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,

8 Koeʻuhi ke ne fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ke kautaha mo e houʻeiki ʻo hono kakai.

To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

9 ‌ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻae fefine paʻa ke tauhi ʻae fale, pea ke hoko ʻi he fiefia ko e faʻē ʻae fānau. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
