1 Ka hari te kīngi ki tōu kaha, e Ihowā;

anō te nui o tōna whakamanamana ki tāu whakaoranga!

2 Kua hōmai e koe ki a ia tā tōna ngākau i hiahia ai;

kīhai anō i kaiponuhia e koe tā ōna ngutu i īnoi ai. Hera

3 Kei mua nei hoki koe i a ia e hōmai ana i ngā manaakitanga o te pai;

karaunatia ana e koe tōna mātenga ki te tino kōura.

4 He ora tāna i īnoi ai i a koe, ā, kua hōmai e koe ki a ia,

he roa noa atu ngā rā ake ake.

5 Te nui tōna korōria i tāu whakaoranga;

uhia ana ia e koe ki te hōnore, ki te korōria.

6 Nāu hoki ia i mea kia manaakitia rawatia ake ake;

whakaharitia ana ia e koe ki te koa o tōu mata.

7 E whakawhirinaki ana hoki te kīngi ki a Ihowā;

e kore anō ia e whakangāueuetia,

he atawhai hoki nō te Runga Rawa.

8 Ka mau i tōu ringa ōu hoariri katoa;

ka mau i tōu ringa matau te hunga e kino ana ki a koe.

9 Ka meinga rātou e koe,

kia rite ki te oumu kāpura i te wā e riri ai koe;

e horomia rātou e Ihowā ina weriweri ia,

ā, mā te kāpura rātou e kai.

10 Ka whakamōtītia e koe ō rātou hua i runga i te whenua,

ō rātou uri i waenganui o ngā tama a te tangata.

11 He kino hoki tā rātou i whakatakoto ai mōu,

he mahi nanakia tā rātou i whakaaro ai, kīhai nei i taea e rātou.

12 Mō reira ka meinga e koe kia tahuri ō rātou tuarā,

ina whakatikaia e koe āu pere i runga i āu aho ki ō rātou mata.

13 Kia whakanuia koe, e Ihowā, i runga i tōu kaha!

Ka waiata mātou, ka hīmene ki tōu nui.
