1 Ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe;
2 Ka koropiko atu ahau ki te ritenga o tōu temepara tapu,
3 I whakahoki kupu mai koe ki ahau i te rā i karanga ai ahau,
4 Ka whakamoemiti ngā kīngi katoa o te whenua ki a koe, e Ihowā,
5 Āe, e waiata rātou mō ngā ara o Ihowā;
6 Ahakoa hoki kei runga rawa a Ihowā, e titiro iho ana anō ia ki te hunga pāpaku;
7 Ahakoa haere ahau i waenganui o te hē,
8 Mā Ihowā e whakaoti āku mea;
