1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova mei he ngaahi langi: fakamālō ki heʻene ʻafio ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the hights.
2 Mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻa ʻene kau ʻāngelo kotoa pē: mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻa ʻene ngaahi kautau kotoa pē.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Mo fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae laʻā mo e māhina: mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu kotoa pē ʻoe maama.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi langi ʻoe ngaahi langi, mo e ngaahi vai ʻoku māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [are] above the heavens.
5 Kenau fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova: he naʻe fekau ʻe ia, pea naʻe fakatupu ʻakinautolu.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Pea kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata. Kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni pea ʻe ʻikai mole ia.
He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Fakamālō kia Sihova mei māmani, ʻae fanga talākoni, mo e ngaahi loloto kotoa pē:
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 ‌ʻAe afi, mo e ʻuha maka; ʻae ʻuha hinehina, mo e ngaahi kakapu; ʻae matangi mālohi ʻoku fakamoʻoni ki heʻene folofola:
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 ‌ʻAe ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi foʻi moʻunga kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fua, mo e ngaahi sita kotoa pē:
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 ‌ʻAe fanga manu hehengi, mo e manu lalata kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi meʻa totolo, mo e manupuna:
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping animals, and flying fowl:
11 ‌ʻAe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, mo e kakai kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki, mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē ʻo māmani:
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 ‌ʻAe kau tangata talavou, mo e kau taʻahine; ʻae kau mātuʻa, mo e fānau:
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Ke nau fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova: he ko hono huafa pē ʻoku māʻolunga; mo hono nāunau ʻoku māʻolunga hake ia ʻi māmani mo e langi.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.
14 ‌ʻOku hiki hake foki ʻe ia ʻae nifo ʻo hono kakai, ko ia ʻoku fakamālō ai ʻa ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē; ʻio, ʻa hono kakai ko ʻIsileli, ko e kakai ʻoku ofi kiate ia. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
