| 1. | Na ka whakautua e Hopa, ka mea, |
| 2. | Kia peha ake te roa o ta koutou whakaporearea i toku wairua, o ta koutou wawahi i ahau ki te kupu? |
| 3. | Ka tekau enei tawainga a koutou ki ahau, kahore o koutou whakama i a koutou ka aki tonu nei i ahau. |
| 4. | Ki te mea ano hoki kua he ahau, kei ahau ano toku he e noho ana. |
| 5. | Ki te mea ka whakanui mai koutou i a koutou ki ahau, a ka kauwhau mai ki ahau i toku tawainga; |
| 6. | Kia mohio koutou na te Atua ahau i whakaparori i taku take, he mea hao mai ahau nana ki tana kupenga. |
| 7. | Nana, e tangi ana ahau i te mahi nanakia, heoi kahore ahau e whakarangona; e karanga awhina ana ahau, otiia kahore he whakawa. |
| 8. | Kua tutakina e ia toku ara, te puta ahau; tukua iho ana e ia te pouri ki oku ara. |
| 9. | Ko toku kororia huia atu ana e ia; tangohia ana e ia te karauna i toku mahunga. |
| 10. | Wawahia ana ahau e ia i nga taha katoa, a riro ana ahau; ko taku i tumanako atu ai huaranga atu ana e ia ano he rakau. |
| 11. | Kua mura mai hoki tona riri ki ahau; e kiia ana ahau e ia ko tetahi o ona hoariri. |
| 12. | E haere huihui mai ana ana taua, e whakaneke ake ana i to ratou ara ki ahau, kei te whakapae i toku teneti i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha. |
| 13. | Kua meinga e ia oku teina kia matara atu i ahau; ko aku i mohio ai kua tangata ke ki ahau. |
| 14. | Ko oku whanaunga, mutu pu ta ratou; ko oku hoa ake, kua wareware ratou ki ahau. |
| 15. | Ko te hunga e noho ana i toku whare, me aku pononga wahine, kiia iho ahau e ratou he tangata ke; he tangata no nga whenua ahau ki ta ratou titiro mai. |
| 16. | I karanga atu ahau ki taku pononga, heoi kihai ia i whakao mai; ahakoa e inoi ana toku mangai ki a ia. |
| 17. | Ko toku ha tauhou ana ki taku wahine, me taku inoi hoki ki nga tamariki o te kopu o toku whaea. |
| 18. | Ko nga tamariki nonohi ano hoki, whakahawea mai ana ki ahau; ki te whakatika ahau, ka korero whakahe ratou moku. |
| 19. | E whakarihariha mai ana ki ahau oku takahoa katoa, a ko aku i aroha ai kua tahuri mai ki ahau. |
| 20. | Piri tonu toku iwi ki toku kiri, ki oku kikokiko, a ora ake oku, ko te kiri kau o oku niho. |
| 21. | Tohungia mai ahau, tohungia mai ahau e koutou, e oku hoa; kua pa mai hoki te ringa o te Atua ki ahau. |
| 22. | He aha koutou i tukino ai i ahau, i pera ai me te Atua, te makona koutou i oku kikokiko? |
| 23. | Aue, me i tuhituhia aku kupu! Aue, me i taia ki te pukapuka! |
| 24. | Me i whaoa ki te kamaka, ki te pene rino, ki te mata, hei mea mo a mua noa atu! |
| 25. | Otiia e mohio ana ahau kei te ora toku kaihoko, a i nga wa i muri nei ka tu ia ki runga ki te whenua; |
| 26. | A ahakoa i muri i te paunga o toku kiri, ka titiro tonu ahau i roto i toku kikokiko ki te Atua: |
| 27. | E titiro ano ahau ki a ia, ahau nei ano; a ma oku kanohi e matakitaki, kahore ma o tetahi atu. Pau rawa oku whatumanawa i roto i ahau. |
| 28. | Ki te ki koutou, Na, ta tatou hanga ki te tukino i a ia! kua kitea hoki te take o te mea i roto i ahau; |
| 29. | Kia wehi koutou kei mate i te hoari; no te mea ko te whiunga ki te hoari kei roto i te riri, e mohio ai koutou he whakawa ano tenei. |
