1Whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau,
e te Atua o tōku tika, ina karanga ahau.
I ahau i te pōuri i whakaputaina ahau e koe;
kia atawhai ki ahau, whakarongo ki tāku īnoi.
2E ngā tama a te tangata,
kia pēhea te roa o tā koutou mea i tōku korōria hei whakamā,
o tā koutou aroha ki te horihori,
o tā koutou whai i te teka? Hera
3Otiia kia mōhio koutou he mea momotu kē nā Ihowā te tangata tapu māna;
e whakarongo a Ihowā ua karanga ahau ki a ia.
4Kia oho koutou, ā, kaua e hara;
kōrerorero ki ō koutou ngākau i runga i ō koutou moenga,
me te āta takoto anō. Hera
5Patua ngā whakahere o te tika,
me te okioki anō ki a Ihowā.
6He tokomaha te mea ana, “Mā wai e whakakite te pai ki a mātou?
Kia ara, e Ihowā, te mārama o tōu mata ki runga ki a mātou.”
7Hira ake te hari i hōmai e koe ki roto ki tōku ngākau
i tō rātou i te wā i hua ai ā rātou wīti, tā rātou wāina.
8Ka takoto mārire ahau, ā, moe tonu iho;
ko koe anake hoki, e Ihowā,
hei mea kia au tōku noho.
