1 E Ihowā, anō te tini o ōku hoariri,

he tokomaha te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau.

2 He tokomaha te mea ana ki tōku wairua,

"Hore rawa he whakaoranga mōna i te Atua." Hera

3 Ko koe ia, e Ihowā, hei whakangungu rākau mōku,

hei korōria mōku, hei kaiwhakaara i tōku mātenga.

4 I karanga, tōku reo ki a Ihowā;

ā, whakahoki kupu mai ana ia ki ahau i tōna maunga tapu. Hera

5 I takoto ahau, i moe;

i ara ake anō; nā Ihowā hoki ahau i whakamau ake.

6 E kore ahau e mataku i ngā mano tini o te iwi,

kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau karapoti noa.
