1 Kua kī te wairangi i tōna ngākau,

"Kāhore he Atua."

Kua pirau rātou, he whakahouhou ā rātou mahi,

kāhore tētahi e mahi ana i te pai.

2 I titiro iho a Ihowā i te rangi ki ngā tama a te tangata,

kia kite me kāhore tētahi e mahara ana,

e rapu ana i te Atua.

3 Kua peka kē rātou katoa kua pirau tahi;

kāhore tētahi e mahi ana i te pai, kāhore kia kotahi.

4 E kore rānei e mōhio ngā kaimahi katoa o te kino?

E kai nei i tōku iwi, me te mea e kai taro ana,

ā, kāhore e karanga ki a Ihowā.

5 Nā, i reira rātou e tūiri noa ana;

kei roto hoki te Atua i te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.

6 Meinga ana e koutou te whakaaro o te hunga iti hei whakamā,

nō te mea ko Ihowā tōna piringa.

7 Auē, me i puta mai te whakaoranga o Īharaira i Hiona!

Kia whakahokia e Ihowā tāna iwi i te whakarau,

ka whakamanamana a Hākopa, ka hari a Īharaira.
