1 He īnoi nā Hapakuku poropiti, ko Hikionoto te waiata.

2 E Ihowā, kua rongo ahau i tōu rongo,

wehi ana ahau, e Ihowā.

Kia ora tāu mahi i waenganui o ngā tau,

kia mātauria i waenganui o ngā tau;

i te mea e riri ana, mahara ki te tohu tangata.

3 I haere mai te Atua i Temana,

te Mea Tapu i Maunga Parana. Hera

Hei hīpoki tōna korōria mō ngā rangi;

kī tonu te whenua i te whakamoemiti ki a ia.

4 Ko tōna tīahotanga ānō ko te mārama;

he hihi e puta ana mai i tōna ringa;

i reira anō te hunanga o tōna kaha.

5 I mua i a ia te mate urutā e haere ana,

i puta anō he mura whānāriki i ōna waewae.

6 Tū ana ia, ā, whanganga ana e ia te whenua;

i titiro ia, ā, tītaria ana e ia ngā iwi.

Rererere ana ngā maunga onamata,

piko ana ngā pukepuke ō mua;

ko ōna ara koia anō kei onamata.

7 I kite ahau, kei te tuatea ngā tēneti o Kūhana;

wiri ana ngā tauārai o te whenua o Miriana.

8 I riri rānei a Ihowā ki ngā awa?

Ki ngā awa rānei tōu riri,

ki te moana rānei tōu riri?

I haere ai koe i runga i āu hōiho,

i āu hāriata whakaora?

9 I meinga tāu kōpere kia noho tahanga;

ko ngā oati ki ngā hapū he kupu pono. Hera

Wāhia ana e koe te whenua ki ngā awa.

10 I kite ngā maunga i a koe, ā, wehi ana;

i pahemo ake te waipuke o ngā wai;

i puaki te reo o te rire,

ā, ara ana ōna ringa ki runga.

11 Tū ana te rā me te marama i tō rāua kāinga,

haere ana rātou i te mārama o āu pere,

i te wherikotanga o tāu tao kanapa.

12 Hāereerea ana e koe te whenua i runga i te āritarita,

patua ā-wītitia ana e koe ngā iwi i runga i te riri.

13 I puta koe ki te whakaora i tāu iwi,

āe rā, ki te whakaora i tāu i whakawahi ai.

Pakaru ana i a koe te upoko i roto o te whare o te hunga kino,

takoto kau ana te tūranga, ā taea noatia te kakī. Hera

14 Werohia ana e koe te upoko o ōna ariki ki āna tokotoko anō;

ānō he paroro rātou e āki mai ana ki te tītaritari i ahau;

ko tō rātou koanga ngākau he kai puku i te rawakore.

15 Takahia ana e koe te moana ki ōu hōiho,

te haupūranga o ngā wai nunui.

16 I tōku rongonga, wiri ana tōku kōpū;

oraora ana ōku ngutu i te reo.

Ngoto ana te pirau ki roto ki ōku wheua,

ā, wiri ana ahau i tōku wāhi.

He mea ia e whai okiokinga ai ahau i te rā o te raru,

i te haerenga ake ki te iwi e kōkiri ana mai ki a ia me āna kaieke hōiho.

17 Ahakoa kore te piki e kōpuku,

kore ngā wāina e whai hua;

ka hē te mahi ōriwa,

kāhore hoki ngā māra e whai kai;

ko ngā hipi poto ake i roto i ngā taiepa,

kāhore hoki he kau i roto i ngā taiepa kau;

18 otiia, ka koa ahau ki a Ihowā,

ka whakamanamana ki te Atua o tōku whakaoranga.

19 Ko Ihowā, ko tōku Ariki, tōku kaha,

ka meinga e ia ōku waewae kia rite ki ō te hāta,

ka meinga anō ahau e ia kia takahi i runga i ōku wāhi tiketike.

Ki te tino kaiwaiata i runga i āku mea whakatangi.
