1. He Hikaiono na Rawiri, tana i waiata ai ki a Ihowa mo nga kupu a Kuhu Pineamine. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kei a koe toku whakawhirinakitanga: kia ora ahau i te hunga katoa e aru ana i ahau, kia mawhiti atu hoki ahau:
2. Kei haehae ia i toku wairua, ano he raiona, a titaritari noa, i te mea kahore he kaiarai.
3. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, ki te mea naku tena mahi, ki te mea he hara kei oku ringa;
4. Ki te mea i whakahokia e ahau he kino ki te tangata kua mau nei ta maua rongo; i whakaora nei hoki ahau i te tangata i kino noa mai ki ahau:
5. Kia arumia toku wairua e te hoariri, a kia mau; kia takahia hoki toku ora e ia ki te whenua, kia whakatokotoria ano toku kororia ki te puehu. (Hera.
6. E Ihowa, whakatika, kia riri koe, ara ake, e nana nei hoki oku hoa whawhai: kia oho ake hoki koe moku; kua kiia e koe te whakawa.
7. Tukua kia karapotia koe e te whakaminenga o nga iwi: ma runga atu i a ratou tou hokinga atu ki runga.
8. Ko Ihowa e whakarite whakawa ana mo nga iwi; kia rite, e Ihowa, tau whakawa moku ki taku mahi tika, ki te tapatahi hoki o oku whakaaro.
9. Kia whakamutua te kino o te hunga kino: whakaukia hoki te tangata tika: e whakamatautau ana hoki te Atua tika i nga ngakau, i nga whatumanawa.
10. Kei te Atua toku whakangungu rakau, mana e whakaora te hunga ngakau tika.
11. He kaiwhakawa tika te Atua, ae ra, he Atua e riri ana i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
12. Ki te kore tetahi e tahuri, ka whakakoia e ia tana hoari; kua whakapikoa e ia tana kopere, a oti rawa te whakapai.
13. Oti rawa ano ana mea whakamate te whakapai e ia; kua meinga e ia ana pere ano he ahi.
14. Nana, he kino te mea e whakamamae nei ia; he whanoke te mea i hapu ki roto ki a ia, a whanau ake he teka.
15. I pokaia e ia he poka, he mea keri nana, taka iho ia ki roto ki te rua i mahia e ia.
16. Ka hoki tona whanoke ki tona matenga, a ka tau iho tana tukino ki tona tumuaki.
17. Ka rite ki tona tika taku whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa: ka himene atu hoki ahau ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Runga Rawa.
