He Whakapono Pūmau
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: ki a Ierutunu. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.
1 Ko te Atua anake tāku e tatari nei;
kei a ia te whakaoranga mōku.
2 Ko ia anake tōku kōhatu, tōku whakaoranga,
tōku pā hoki, e kore e nui tōku ngāueuetanga.
3 Kia pēhea te roa o tā koutou tatau ki te tangata,
kia whakamatea ai e koutou, e koutou katoa,
ka rite ki te taiepa e tūngou ana, ki te wāwā ka tata te hinga?
4 Heoi anō tā rātou e rūnanga ai ko te turaki i a ia i tōna wāhi teitei;
E āhuareka ana ki te teka;
e manaaki ana ō rātou māngai,
ā, e kanga ana a roto i a rātou.
Hera
5 Tatari, e tōku wairua, ki te Atua anake;
ko ia tāku e tūmanako nei.
6 Ko ia anake tōku kōhatu, tōku whakaoranga,
tōku pā hoki; e kore ahau e whakangāueuetia.
7 Kei te Atua te whakaoranga mōku, te korōria anō mōku;
kei te Atua te kōhatu o tōku kaha, tōku piringa.
8 Whakawhirinaki ki a ia i ngā wā katoa, e te iwi,
ringihia tō koutou ngākau ki tōna aroaro;
hei piringa mō tātou te Atua.
Hera
9 He pono he mea memeha noa ngā ware,
he teka noa ngā rangatira;
ki te pāunatia rātou,
māmā noa ake rātou tahi i te horihori.
10 Kaua e whakawhirinaki ki te tūkino,
kei wairangi hoki ki te pāhua;
ki te tini haere ngā taonga,
kei whakamanawa tō koutou ngākau ki reira.
11 Kotahi kōrerotanga a te Atua,
ka rua ōku rongonga i tēnei:
nō te Atua te kaha,
12 nāu anō, e te Ariki, te mahi tohu;
rite tonu hoki ki tāna mahi
tāu utu ki te tangata.
