4 He hara ki a koe, ki a koe anake, tōku;

i meatia anō tēnei hē ki tōu aroaro;

kia tika ai koe i tāu kōrerotanga,

kia mā ai hoki ina whakawā.

5 Nā, i whakaahuatia ahau i roto i te kino,

i runga anō i te hara tōku whakahapūtanga ki roto ki tōku whaea.

6 Nā, ko tāu e matenui ai ko te pono i ngā wāhi o roto,

ā, ka whakaakona ōku wāhi ngaro e koe ki te whakaaro nui.

7 Purea ahau ki te hihopa, ā, ka mā ahau;

horoia ahau, ā, ka mā kē atu i te hukarere.

8 Meinga kia rongo ahau i te hari, i te koa,

ā, ka whakamanamana ngā iwi i whatia nei e koe.

9 Hunā tōu mata ki ōku hara;

ā, murua katoatia ōku kino.
