1 E te Atua, kua panga mātou e koe, kua oti mātou te whakamarara e koe,

kua riri koe; tahuri mai anō ki a mātou!

2 Wiri ana te whenua i a koe, kua ngātata i a koe;

whakakapia ōna wāhi pakaru, e rū ana hoki.

3 He mea pakeke kua whakakitea e koe ki tāu iwi,

kua oti mātou te whakainu e koe ki te wāina e wiri ai.

4 Kua hōmai e koe he kara ki te hunga e wehi ana i a koe;

kia whakakitea hei mea mō te pono. Hera

5 Hei mea e mawhiti ai āu e aroha ai;

mā tōu matau e whakaora,

whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.

6 Kua kōrero te Atua i runga i tōna tapu;

"Ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme,

ka roherohe hoki i te raorao o Hukota.

7 Nōku Kireara, nōku anō a Mānahi,

ko Ēparaima anō hoki te kaha o tōku mātenga;

ko Hūrā tāku kaiwhakatakoto ture;

8 ko Moapa tāku oko horoi;

ka makā e ahau tōku hū ki runga ki Ēroma;

e Pirihitia, ko ahau hei whakamanamana māu."

9 Mā wai ahau e kawe ki te pā kaha?

Nā wai ahau i ārahi ki Ēroma?

10 He teka rānei, e te Atua, kua pangā mātou e koe?

Kāhore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me ā mātou taua.

11 Hōmai he āwhina mō mātou ki ō mātou hoariri;

he teka noa hoki te āwhina a te tangata.

12 Mā te Atua tātou ka toa ai;

māna hoki e takahi ki raro ō tātou hoa whawhai.
