1 I koa ahau i tā rātou meatanga mai ki ahau,

"Tātou ka haere ki te whare o Ihowā!"

2 E tū ana ō mātou waewae

ki ōu tatau, e Hiruhārama.

3 Ko te hanganga o Hiruhārama,

rite tonu ki tō te pā kua tūhonohonoa ki a ia anō.

4 Hāereere ana ki reira ngā iwi,

ngā iwi o Ihowā,

ki tō Īharaira whakaaturanga,

ki te whakawhetai ki te ingoa o Ihowā.

5 Kua whakatūria hoki ki reira ngā torōna whakawā,

ngā torōna o te whare o Rāwiri.

6 Īnoia he āta noho mō Hiruhārama:

"Ka whiwhi ki te pai te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe.

7 Kia mau te rongo ki ōu taiepa,

me te pai ki ōu whare kīngi."

8 He mea mō ōku tēina, mō ōku hoa,

tāku e mea nei, "Kia mau te rongo ki roto ki a koe."

9 He whakaaro ki te whare o Ihowā, o tō tātou Atua,

ka rapu ahau i te pai mōu.
