He hīmene nā Rāwiri. E Ihowā, whakarongo ki tāku īnoi, kia tītaha mai tōu taringa ki āku īnoi; whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau i runga i tōu pono, i runga i tōu tika. 
Ā, kaua e anga e whakawā ki tāu pononga; ki tāu titiro hoki kāhore tētahi mea ora e tika. 
Kua tūkinotia hoki tōku wairua e te hoariri, patua iho e ia tōku ora ki raro ki te whenua; meinga ana ahau e ia kia noho i ngā wāhi pōuri, kia rite ki ngā tūpāpaku onamata. 
Nā reira i ngaro ai tōku wairua i roto i ahau; mōtī rawa tōku ngākau i roto i ahau. 
E mahara ana ahau ki ngā rā onamata; e whakaaro ana ki āu mahi katoa, e whakaaroaro ana ahau ki ngā meatanga a ōu ringa. 
Totoro tonu atu ōku ringa ki a koe; e hiainu ana tōku wairua ki a koe, ānō he whenua māuiui. Hera 
Hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau, e Ihowā; ka hemo tōku wairua. Kei hunā tōu mata ki ahau; kei rite ahau ki te hunga e heke ana ki te poka. 
Meinga kia rongo ahau ki tōu aroha i te ata; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a koe. Meinga kia mātau ahau ki te ara e haere ai ahau; kua ara nei hoki tōku wairua ki a koe. 
Whakaorangia ahau, e Ihowā, i ōku hoariri; ka kuhu nei ahau ki roto ki a koe. 
Whakaakona ahau ki te mea i tāu e pai ai; ko koe hoki tōku Atua. He pai tōu wairua; ārahina ahau ki te whenua o te tika. 
Whakahauorangia ahau, e Ihowā, he whakaaro ki tōu ingoa. Whakaarohia tōu tika, ka whakaputa ake i tōku wairua i roto i te pōuri. 
Aroha mai hoki, ā, hunā ōku hoariri; whakangaromia katoatia anō ngā kaitūkino o tōku wairua; he pononga hoki ahau nāu.
