1 Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!

Ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te whakawhetai ki a Ihowā,

i te rūnanga o te hunga tika, i te whakaminenga.

2 He nui ngā mahi a Ihowā,

e whakatakina ana e te hunga katoa e manako ana ki aua mea.

3 He mea hōnore, he mea korōria tāna mahi;

tū tonu tōna tika ake ake.

4 Kua meinga e ia kia maharatia āna mahi whakamīharo;

he atawhai a Ihowā, he aroha.

5 E hōmai ana e ia he kai mā te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia;

ka mahara tonu ia ki tāna kawenata.

6 Kua whakakitea e ia ki tāna iwi te kaha o āna mahi,

i tāna hoatutanga i tō ngā tauiwi hei kāinga tupu mō rātou.

7 Ko ngā mahi a ōna ringa he pono, he whakawā tika;

pono tonu āna akoranga katoa.

8 Ū tonu ake ake,

e mahia ana i runga i te pono, i te tika.

9 I tonoa mai e ia he whakaoranga mō tāna iwi;

kua kīia iho e ia tāna kawenata mō ake tonu atu;

he tapu tōna ingoa, e wehingia ana.

10 Ko te tīmatanga o te whakaaro nui he wehi ki a Ihowā;

he ngārahu pai tō te hunga katoa nāna ērā mahi.

Ka mau te whakamoemiti ki a ia, ake ake.
