He Īnoi o te Whakawhirinaki Māhaki
He waiata; he pikitanga. Nā Rāwiri.
1 E Ihowā, ehara tōku i te ngākau whakapehapeha,
ehara anō ōku i te kanohi whakakake;
kāhore hoki ahau e rahurahu ki ngā mea nunui,
e kore nei e taea e ahau.
2 He pono kua meinga e ahau tōku wairua kia tau, ā, kia māhaki,
pērā i tō te tamaiti kua wehea i te ū o tōna whaea;
he rite tōku wairua ki te tamaiti kātahi nei ka wehe i te ū.
3 E Īharaira, kia tūmanako ki a Ihowā,
āianei, ā ake tonu atu.
