1 E te Atua, nōku koe Atua;

ka moata tāku rapu i a koe.

E hiainu ana tōku wairua ki a koe,

e hiahia ana ōku kikokiko ki a koe,

i te whenua maroke, ruha noa,

kāhore nei he wai.

2 Koia i titiro atu ai ahau ki a koe i te wāhi tapu,

kia kite ai i tōu kaha, i tōu korōria.

3 Pai atu tōu aroha i te ora;

mō reira ka whakamoemiti ōku ngutu ki a koe.

4 Inā, ka whakapai ahau ki a koe i ahau anō e ora nei;

ka totoro atu ōku ringa i runga i tōu ingoa.

5 Ka mākona tōku wairua, ānō i te hinu wheua, i te ngako,

ā, ka hari ōku ngutu ina whakamoemiti tōku māngai ki a koe.

6 Ina mahara ahau ki a koe i runga i tōku moenga,

ina whakaaro ki a koe i ngā mataaratanga o te pō.

7 Ko koe hoki tōku kaiāwhina;

nā, ka hari ahau ki te taumarumarutanga iho o ōu pākau.

8 Piri tonu tōku wairua ki a koe

e tautoko ake ana tōu matau i ahau.

9 Ko te hunga e whai ana i tōku wairua kia whakangaromia,

ka riro rātou ki ngā wāhi o raro rawa o te whenua.

10 Ka tukua atu rātou ki te kaha o te hoari;

hei wāhi rātou mā ngā pokiha.

11 Tēnā ko te kīngi, ka hari ia ki te Atua;

ka whakamanamana ngā tāngata katoa ko ia nei tā rātou oati;

ā, ka purua te māngai o te hunga katoa e kōrero teka ana.
