1 He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka anga atu oku kanohi ki nga maunga; no reira nei te awhina moku.2 No Ihowa te awhina moku, no te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.3 E kore ia e tuku i tou waewae kia nekehia; e kore tou kaitiaki e moe.4 Ina, e kore te kaitiaki o Iharaira e parangia, e moe.5 Ko Ihowa tou kaitiaki, ko Ihowa tou whakamarumaru i tou matau.6 E kore koe e pakia e te ra i te awatea, e te marama ranei i te po.7 Ma Ihowa koe e tiaki i roto i nga kino katoa; mana e tiaki tou wairua.8 Ma Ihowa e tiaki tou haerenga atu, me tou haerenga mai aianei a ake tonu atu.

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
