1 E Ihowā, ko koe tāku e whakawhirinaki nei;

kei whakamā ahau ake ake;

whakaorangia ahau, he tika nei hoki koe.

2 Anga mai tōu taringa ki ahau;

hohoro te whakaora i ahau.

Kia ai koe hei kōhatu kaha mōku,

hei whare tiaki mōku.

3 Ko koe hoki tōku kōhatu, tōku pā;

nā, kia mahara ki tōu ingoa,

ā, ārahina ahau, tohutohungia hoki ahau.

4 Kapohia ahau i roto i te kupenga i hunā e rātou mōku;

ko koe hoki tōku kaha.

5 Tēnei tōku wairua te tukua atu nei e ahau ki tōu ringa;

nāu ahau i hoko e Ihowā, e te Atua o te pono.
