1He hīmene nā Rāwiri. I mea a Ihowā ki tōku Ariki, “Hei tōku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga rā anō e ahau ōu hoariri hei tūranga waewae mōu.”
2Mā Ihowā e tono mai te tokotoko o tōu kaha i Hiona; hei rangatira koe i waenganui i ōu hoariri.
3Ka kakama tōu iwi ki te tāpae atu i a rātou i te rā o tōu kaha, i te ātaahua o ngā mea tapu. Nō te kōpū mai o te ata, kei a koe te tōmairangi o tōu whanaketanga.
4Kua oati a Ihowā, e kore anō tāna e puta kē; “Hei tohunga koe ake ake, nō te tikanga o Merekihereke.”
5Kei tōu matau te Ariki; ka marū i a ia ngā kīngi i te rā e riri ai ia.
6E whakawā ia i waenganui i ngā tauiwi; e whakakīia e ia ngā whenua ki te tūpāpaku; ka marū i a ia ngā upoko i ngā whenua maha.
7Ka inu wai ia i te awa i te ara, ā, ka ara tōna mātenga.
