1E pupuke ake ana te mea pai i roto i tōku ngākau;
ka kōrerotia e ahau āku i tito ai mō te kīngi;
he pene tōku arero nā te kaituhituhi hohoro.
2Engari koe he ātaahua i ngā tama a te tangata;
kua ringihia ōu ngutu ki te āhuareka;
nā reira i manaakitia ai koe e te Atua ake ake.
3Whītikiria tāu hoari ki tōu hūwhā, e te Nui Rawa,
tōu korōria me tōu hōnore.
4Aratakina hoki tōu hōiho i runga i tōu hōnore, i te kaha,
hei mea hoki mō te pono, mō te māhaki, mō te tika,
ā, mā tōu matau koe e whakaako ki ngā mea whakamataku.
5He koi āu pere; ka hinga ngā iwi ki raro i a koe;
kei roto rātou i te ngākau o ngā hoariri o te kīngi.
6He pūmau, e te Atua, tōu torōna ake ake;
he hēpeta tika te hēpeta o tōu kīngitanga.
7Kua aroha koe ki te tika, kua kino ki te hara;
nā reira, nui atu i tō ōu hoa te whakawahinga a te Atua,
a tōu Atua i a koe ki te hinu o te hari.
8Ko tōu kākahu katoa he kakara maira, he aroe, he kahia.
Ko ngā mea aho, whakatangitangi o ngā whare rei
nāna koe i whakaahuareka.
9Kei roto i āu wāhine hōnore ngā tamāhine kīngi;
kei tōu matau te kuīni e tū ana, nō Ōpira te kōura.
10Whakarongo, e kō, titiro, tahuri iho tōu taringa;
ā, kia wareware koe ki tōu iwi, ki te whare anō o tōu pāpā.
11Pēnei ka matenuitia e te kīngi tōu ātaahua;
ko ia hoki tōu Ariki; ā, me koropiko ki a ia.
12Ko reira anō te tamāhine o Tāira me te ohaoha;
ka whai anō ngā tāngata taonga o te iwi kia manakohia e koe.
13Kei roto te tamāhine a te kīngi, he korōria kau,
he mea whakairo ki te kōura tōna kākahu.
14He mea whakapaipai ki te ngira tōna kākahu e kawea ai ia ki te kīngi;
ka ārahina ki a koe ngā wāhina,
ōna takahoa e whai ana i a ia.
15He hari, he koa ina kawea mai rātou;
ka tomo ki te whare o te kīngi.
16Ko āu tamariki hei whakakapi mō ōu mātua;
ka meinga anō rātou e koe hei kāwana mō te whenua katoa.
17Ka meinga e ahau tōu ingoa kia maharatia e ngā whakatupuranga katoa;
e whakamoemititia ai koe e ngā iwi ā ake ake.
