1Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nā Rāwiri, hei whakamahara. Kia hohoro, e te Atua, ki te whakaora i ahau; e Ihowā, hohoro ki te āwhina i ahau.
2Kia whakamā, kia pororaru ngātahi te hunga e rapu ana i tōku wairua. Kia whakahokia ki muri, kia whakamā te hunga e hiahia ana kia hē ahau.
3Kia whakahokia ki muri mō tō rātou whakamā, te hunga e mea ana ki ahau, “Ha, ha!”
4Kia hari, kia koa, ki a koe te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a koe. Kia mea tonu te hunga e pai ana ki tāu whakaoranga, “Kia whakanuia te Atua!”
5Ko ahau ia, he iti, he rawakore; hohoro mai, e te Atua, ki ahau. Ko koe tōku āwhina, tōku kaiwhakaora; kaua rā e whakaroa, e Ihowā.
