1 Ka karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā,
2 Whakarongo ki tōku reo īnoi,
3 Kaua ahau e kūmea tahitia me te hunga hē;
4 Kia rite ki ā rātou mahi tāu e hoatu ai ki a rātou,
5 Nā, kāhore nei rātou e whakaaro ki ngā mahi a Ihowā,
6 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā mōna
7 Ko Ihowā tōku kaha, tōku whakangungu rākau;
8 Ko Ihowā tō rātou kaha,
9 Whakaorangia tāu iwi, manaakitia tōu kāinga tupu;
