Ko Ihowā toku Hēpara
He hīmene nā Rāwiri.
1 Ko Ihowā tōku hēpara;
e kore ahau e hapa.
2 Ko ia hei mea kia takoto ahau
ki ngā wāhi tarutaru hou;
e ārahi ana ia i ahau ki te taha o ngā wai āta rere.
3 Ko ia hei whakahoki ake i tōku wairua;
e ārahi ana ia i ahau i ngā ara o te tika,
he whakaaro ki tōna ingoa.
4 Āe, ahakoa haere ahau i te awaawa o te ātārangi o te mate,
kāhore he kino e wehi ai ahau;
nō te mea kei tōku taha koe;
ko tāu rākau, ko tāu tokotoko,
ko ēnā hei oranga ngākau mōku.
5 E takā ana e koe he tēpu ki tōku aroaro
i te tirohanga a ōku hoariri,
e whakawahia ana e koe tōku mātenga ki te hinu,
pūrena tonu tāku kapu.
6 He pono e aru i ahau te pai me te atawhai
i ngā rā katoa e ora ai ahau,
ā, ka noho ahau ki te whare o Ihowā
ake tonu atu.
