1 Ko te Atua anake tāku e tatari nei;

kei a ia te whakaoranga mōku.

2 Ko ia anake tōku kōhatu, tōku whakaoranga,

tōku pā hoki, e kore e nui tōku ngāueuetanga.

3 Kia pēhea te roa o tā koutou tatau ki te tangata,

kia whakamatea ai e koutou, e koutou katoa,

ka rite ki te taiepa e tūngou ana, ki te wāwā ka tata te hinga?

4 Heoi anō tā rātou e rūnanga ai ko te turaki i a ia i tōna wāhi teitei;

E āhuareka ana ki te teka;

e manaaki ana ō rātou māngai,

ā, e kanga ana a roto i a rātou. Hera

5 Tatari, e tōku wairua, ki te Atua anake;

ko ia tāku e tūmanako nei.

6 Ko ia anake tōku kōhatu, tōku whakaoranga,

tōku pā hoki; e kore ahau e whakangāueuetia.

7 Kei te Atua te whakaoranga mōku, te korōria anō mōku;

kei te Atua te kōhatu o tōku kaha, tōku piringa.

8 Whakawhirinaki ki a ia i ngā wā katoa, e te iwi,

ringihia tō koutou ngākau ki tōna aroaro;

hei piringa mō tātou te Atua. Hera

9 He pono he mea memeha noa ngā ware,

he teka noa ngā rangatira;

ki te pāunatia rātou,

māmā noa ake rātou tahi i te horihori.

10 Kaua e whakawhirinaki ki te tūkino,

kei wairangi hoki ki te pāhua;

ki te tini haere ngā taonga,

kei whakamanawa tō koutou ngākau ki reira.

11 Kotahi kōrerotanga a te Atua,

ka rua ōku rongonga i tēnei:

nō te Atua te kaha,

12 nāu anō, e te Ariki, te mahi tohu;

rite tonu hoki ki tāna mahi

tāu utu ki te tangata.
