1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ʻi heʻene liliu ʻene tōʻonga ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻApimeleki; ʻaia naʻa ne kapusi ia, pea ʻalu ia ʻo hao. Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē: ʻe tuʻumaʻu pe ʻene fakafetaʻi ʻi hoku ngutu.
א I will bless Adonai at all times. His tehilah ·praise song· will always be in my mouth.

ז This poor man cried, and Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

ח Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

י Oh fear Adonai, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10 ʻOku masiva ʻae fanga laione mui, mo fiekaia: ka ko kinautolu ʻoku kumi kia Sihova ʻe ʻikai te nau masiva ʻi ha meʻa lelei ʻe taha.
כּ The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Adonai shall not lack any good thing.

ל Come, you children, sh'ma ·hear obey· unto me. I will teach you the fear of Adonai.
