Saame 113

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

Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

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

Blessed be the name of the LORD 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 the LORD’S name is to be praised.

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

The LORD is high above all nations, and 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 the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high,

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

That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in 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, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

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

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes 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, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
