He Īnoi i mua i te Whawhai
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.
1Mā Ihowā e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe i te rā o te hē;mā te ingoa o te Atua o Hākopa koe e tiaki.2Māna e tono mai he āwhina mōu i te wāhi tapu,e whakaū hoki koe i Hiona.3Māna e mahara ki āu whakahere katoa,e manako ki āu tahunga tinana. Hera4Māna e hōmai ki a koe tā tōu ngākau e mea ai,e whakamana katoa hoki tāu e wawata ai.5Ka hari mātou ki tāu whakaoranga,ka whakatū hoki i ō mātou karai runga i te ingoa o tō mātou Atua.Mā Ihowā e whakarite āu īnoi katoa.6Kātahi ahau ka mātau e whakaora ana a Ihowā i tāna tangata i whakawahi ai,ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a ia i tōna rangi tapu,me te kaha anō tōna ringa matau ki te whakaora.7Ko tā ētahi he hāriata, ko tā ētahi he hōiho;ko tātou ia ka whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowā, o tō tātou Atua.8Kua piko rātou, kua hingako tātou ia kua ara, kua tū ki runga.9Whakaorangia, e Ihowā;kia whakahoki kupu mai te Kīngi ina karanga mātou.
