1 Whakaorangia, e Ihowā;

ka mutu hoki ngā tāngata tapu;

ka taweke atu te hunga pono i roto i ngā tama a te tangata.

2 E kōrero teka ana rātou tētahi ki tētahi;

he ngutu patipati, he ngākau rua ō rātou ina kōrero.

3 Ka hātepea e Ihowā ngā ngutu patipati katoa,

me te arero e kōrero whakapehapeha ana;

4 e mea nei, "Mā ō tātou arero tātou ka kake ai;

nō tātou anō ō tātou ngutu, ko wai hei ariki mō tātou?"

5 "Mō te tūkinotanga i te hunga iti, mō te auē a te hunga rawakore,

ka whakatika ahau āianei," e ai tā Ihowā,

"Ka whakanohoia ia e ahau ki te wāhi e ora ai ia

i ngā tāngata e whakatūpererū ana ki a ia."

6 He kupu parakore ngā kupu a Ihowā;

he hiriwa i whakakorea nei te para i roto i te oumu whenua,

he mea tuku whitu.

7 Ka tiakina rātou e koe, e Ihowā,

ka whakaorangia rātou i tēnei whakatupuranga ake tonu atu.

8 E hāereere noa ana ngā tāngata kino i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha,

i te mea e whakateiteitia ana te kino i roto i ngā tama a te tangata.
