1 I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā, i roto i ngā hōhonu.

2 E te Ariki, whakarongo mai ki tōku reo!

Kia anga mai ōu taringa

ki tōku reo īnoi!

3 Me i maharatia e koe ngā kino, e Ihowā,

ko wai, e te Ariki, e tū?

4 Otirā, he muru hara tāu,

e wehingia ai koe.

5 E tatari ana ahau ki a Ihowā, e tatari ana tōku wairua;

e tūmanako ana hoki ahau ki tāna kupu.

6 Ko te tāringa o tōku wairua i te Ariki nui atu

i tō te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata,

āe, i tō te hunga e whanga ana ki te ata.

7 E Īharaira, kia tūmanako ki a Ihowā!

Kei a Ihowā hoki te mahi tohu,

ā, kei a ia te hokonga nui.

8 Ā, māna a Īharaira e hoko

i roto i ōna hē katoa.
