He mea pai te whakawhetai kia Ihowa… Te Himene atu ki tōu ingoa e te runga rawa… Te whakakite atu i tōu ātawhai, te hātere… i te hāpa tangi reka… Nāu hoki e Ihowa ahau i whakahari ki tāu mahi… Ka whakamanamana ahau ki ngā meatanga a ōu ringa… Anō te nui o āu mahi e Ihowa, hōhonu rawa ōu whakaaro… Te tangata poauau kāhore ia e mātau… ake, ngā tāngata whakaaro kore anō he tarutaru… Ā, ka tipu ngā kaimahi katoa i te kino… He mea tāna kia whakangaromia ai rātau āke āke… Ko koe ia e Ihowa he runga rawa āke āke… Nā ōu hoa whawhai e Ihowa… Nā ōu hoa whawhai ka ngaro rātau… Ka whakamararatia katoatia ngā mahi i te kino… ka whakaarahia ake e koe tōku haona… kia rite ki tō te unikanga… Ka whakawāhia ahau ki te hinu hou… ā, ka titiro atu ōku kanōhi ki ōku hoariri… Ka rongo hoki oko taringa… i te matenga o te hunga kino… E whakatika mai ana ki āu…
