- Whakarongo mai ki te reo o taku karanga, e toku Kingi, e toku Atua, he inoi atu hoki taku ki a koe.
- 3

- 11
- Otiia kia hari katoa te hunga e whakawhirinaki atu ana ki a koe: kia hamama tonu ratou i te koa, mo ratou e hipokina iho nei e koe; kia whakamanamana ano hoki ki a koe te hunga e aroha ana ki to ingoa.
- 12
- No te mea ka manaakitia e koe, e Ihowa, te tangata tika; me he whakangungu rakau te manakohanga mai e karapotia ai ia e koe.
