Taukiri e! Noho mokemoke ana te pā i kī nei i te tangata! Ānō tōna rite he pouaru! Kua waiho hei hoatu takoha te mea i nui nei i roto i ngā iwi, te rangatira i roto i ngā kāwanatanga!

Nui atu tāna tangi i te pō, ā, kei ōna pāpāringa ōna roimata; i roto i te hunga katoa i aroha ki a ia, kāhore he kaiwhakamārie mōna; kua tinihanga ōna hoa ki a ia, kua meinga rātou hei hoariri mōna.

“Titiro mai, e Ihowā, he mamae hoki tōku, e ohooho ana ōku whēkau; ko tōku ngākau hurikiko ana i roto i ahau; he nui noa atu hoki tōku whakakeke. I waho ko te hoari ki te whakamōtī, i roto kei te mate te rite.
