1 I tatari mārie ahau ki a Ihowā;
2 Nā, kei te tango ake ia i ahau i te poka whakamataku,
3 Ā, hōmai ana e ia he waiata hou ki tōku māngai,
4 Ka hari te tangata kua waiho nei e ia
5 E Ihowā, e tōku Atua, he tini
6 Kīhai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu, me te whakahere;
7 Nā, ko tāku meatanga atu, “Nā, kua tae mai ahau;
8 Ko taku pai ko te mea i tāu e pai ai, e tōku Atua;
9 Kua kauwhautia e ahau te tika
10 Kīhai i hunā e ahau tōu tika i roto i tōku ngākau;
11 Kei kaiponuhia tōu aroha ki ahau, e Ihowā;
12 Tā te mea kua karapotia ahau e ngā kino
13 Kia pai, e Ihowā, ki te whakaora i ahau;
14 Kia whakamā, kia pororaru ngātahi te hunga
15 Kia hunā, hei utu mō tō rātou whakamā te hunga
16 Kia hari, kia koa ki a koe te hunga katoa
17 Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore;
