1 E Ihowā, ko wai e noho ki tōu tapenākara?

Ko wai e noho ki tōu maunga tapu?

2 Ko ia he tapatahi nei te haere, he tika te mahi,

he kōrero pono anō i roto i tōna ngākau.

3 Kāhore nei e ngautuarā tōna arero,

kāhore e kino te mahi ki tōna hoa,

kāhore āna ingoa kino mō tōna hoa.

4 E whakahēngia ana te tangata kino e ōna kanohi,

e whakahōnoretia ana ia e ia te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowā.

Ahakoa mate i tāna oati, kāhore e whakapaheketia e ia.

5 Kāhore e tuku i tāna moni hei moni whakatupu;

kāhore hoki e tango i te moni hei utu mate mō te tangata harakore.

Ki te pēnei te mahi a tētahi,

e kore ia e whakakorikoria ake ake.
