1 He himene na Rawiri, i a ia i te koraha o Hura. E te Atua, noku koe Atua; ka moata taku rapu i a koe. E hiainu ana toku wairua ki a koe, e hiahia ana oku kikokiko ki a koe, i te whenua maroke, ruha noa, kahore nei he wai.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ʻi heʻene ʻi he toafa ʻo Siuta. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ko hoku ʻOtua koe; te u kumi vave kiate koe: ʻoku fieinu hoku laumālie kiate koe, ʻoku holi hoku kakano kiate koe ʻi he fonua mōmoa mo fieinua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai;
2 Koia i titiro atu ai ahau ki a koe i te wahi tapu, kia kite ai i tou kaha, i tou kororia.
Ke mamata ki hoʻo māfimafi mo ho nāunau, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku mamata ai kiate koe ʻi he faletapu.
3 Pai atu tou aroha i te ora: mo reira ka whakamoemiti oku ngutu ki a koe.
‌ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he moʻui, ko ia ʻe fakafetaʻi ai ʻa hoku loungutu kiate koe.
4 Ina, ka whakapai ahau ki a koe i ahau ano e ora nei; ka totoro atu oku ringa i runga i tou ingoa.
Ko ia ʻe pehē pe ʻeku fakafetaʻi kiate koe lolotonga ʻeku moʻui: te u hiki hake hoku nima ʻi ho huafa.
5 Ka makona toku wairua, ano i te hinu wheua, i te ngako, a ka hari oku ngutu ina whakamoemiti toku mangai ki a koe.
‌ʻE mākona lelei hoku laumālie ʻo hangē ko e meʻa ʻi he ngako mo e meʻa momona; pea ʻe fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻa hoku ngutu ʻi he loungutu fiefia.
6 Ina mahara ahau ki a koe i runga i toku moenga, ina whakaaro ki a koe i nga mataaratanga o te po.
‌ʻI heʻeku manatu kiate koe ʻi hoku mohenga, ʻo fakalaulauloto kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi lakanga leʻo ʻi he poʻuli.
7 Ko koe hoki toku kaiawhina: na ka hari ahau ki te taumarumarutanga iho o ou pakau.
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo faʻa tokoni au, ko ia te u fiefia ai ʻi he malu ʻo ho kapakau.
8 Piri tonu toku wairua ki a koe: e tautoko ake ana tou matau i ahau.
‌ʻOku pikitai maʻu pē hoku laumālie kiate koe: ʻoku poupou au ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu.
9 Ko te hunga e whai ana i toku wairua kia whakangaromia, ka riro ratou ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua.
Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku kumi hoku laumālie ke fakaʻauha ia, tenau ʻalu hifo ki he ngaahi potu ʻi lalo ʻi he fonua.
10 Ka tukua atu ratou ki te kaha o te hoari: hei wahi ratou ma nga pokiha.
Tenau tō ʻi he heletā: tenau hoko ko e ʻinasi ʻoe fanga fokisi.
11 Tena ko te kingi, ka hari ia ki te Atua; ka whakamanamana nga tangata katoa ko ia nei ta ratou oati: a ka purua te mangai o te hunga katoa e korero teka ana.
Ka ʻe fiefia ʻae tuʻi ʻi he ʻOtua; ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fuakava ʻiate ia ʻe fiefia ia; ka ʻe tāpuni ʻae ngutu ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku lea loi.
