Te Whakawhirinaki ki Ihowā i te Wā Kōarotanga
He hīmene nā Rāwiri, i tōna omanga atu i tāna tama i a Apohārama.
1 E Ihowā, anō te tini o ōku hoariri,
he tokomaha te hunga e whakatika mai ana ki ahau.
2 He tokomaha te mea ana ki tōku wairua,
“Hore rawa he whakaoranga mōna i te Atua.”
Hera
3 Ko koe ia, e Ihowā, hei whakangungu rākau mōku,
hei korōria mōku, hei kaiwhakaara i tōku mātenga.
4 I karanga, tōku reo ki a Ihowā;
ā, whakahoki kupu mai ana ia ki ahau i tōna maunga tapu.
Hera
5 I takoto ahau, i moe;
i ara ake anō; nā Ihowā hoki ahau i whakamau ake.
6 E kore ahau e mataku i ngā mano tini o te iwi,
kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau karapoti noa.
7 Whakatika, e Ihowā;
whakaorangia ahau, e tōku Atua!
Nāu hoki i patu te kauae o ōku hoariri katoa;
mangungu noa i a koe ngā niho o te hunga kino.
8 Nā Ihowā te whakaoranga.
Kei runga i tāu iwi tāu manaaki.
Hera
