Chapter 13

 1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Kia pehea te roa o tou wareware ki ahau, e Ihowa? mo ake tonu atu ranei? Kia pehea te roa o tau hunanga i tou mata ki ahau?

 2 Kia pehea te roa o toku whakaaroaronga i roto i toku wairua, o te pouri i roto i toku ngakau i tenei ra, i tenei ra? Kia pehea te roa o te whakakake mai a toku hoariri ki ahau?

 3 Titiro mai, whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e Ihowa, e toku Atua: whakamaramatia oku kanohi, kei moe ahau i te moe o te mate.

 4 Kei mea mai toku hoariri, Kua taea ia e ahau: kei whakamanamana oku hoariri, ina whakakorikoria ahau.

 5 Ko ahau ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki tau mahi toku: ka whakamanamana toku ngakau ki tau whakaoranga.

 6 Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa, mona i atawhai mai ki ahau.
