1 E te Atua, kia whakaorangia ahau e tōu ingoa;

kia whakawākia hoki ahau e tōu kaha.

2 E te Atua, whakarongo ki tāku īnoi,

tahuri mai tōu taringa ki ngā kupu a tōku māngai.

3 Nō te mea kua whakatika mai ngā tāngata iwi kē ki ahau,

ā, e whāia ana tōku wairua e te hunga tūkino;

kāhore i waiho e rātou te Atua ki tō rātou aroaro. Hera

4 Tēnei te Atua hei kaiāwhina mōku;

kei roto te Ariki i te hunga e tautoko ake ana i tōku wairua.

5 Māna e utu te kino o ōku hoariri;

hunā rātou, he pono nei hoki koe.

6 Ka kakama ahau ki te mea patunga tapu ki a koe,

ka whakamoemiti ki tōu ingoa, e Ihowā,

he mea pai hoki.

7 Kua whakaorangia hoki ahau e ia i roto i ngā hē katoa;

ā, kua titiro tōku kanohi ki te mea e hiahia ana ahau ki ōku hoariri.
