1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where will my help come from?

He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka anga atu oku kanohi ki nga maunga; no reira nei te awhina moku.

2 M y help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

No Ihowa te awhina moku, no te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.

3 H e will not let your feet go out from under you. He Who watches over you will not sleep.

E kore ia e tuku i tou waewae kia nekehia; e kore tou kaitiaki e moe.

4 L isten, He Who watches over Israel will not close his eyes or sleep.

Ina, e kore te kaitiaki o Iharaira e parangia, e moe.

5 T he Lord watches over you. The Lord is your safe cover at your right hand.

Ko Ihowa tou kaitiaki, ko Ihowa tou whakamarumaru i tou matau.

6 T he sun will not hurt you during the day and the moon will not hurt you during the night.

E kore koe e pakia e te ra i te awatea, e te marama ranei i te po.

7 T he Lord will keep you from all that is sinful. He will watch over your soul.

Ma Ihowa koe e tiaki i roto i nga kino katoa; mana e tiaki tou wairua.

8 T he Lord will watch over your coming and going, now and forever.

Ma Ihowa e tiaki tou haerenga atu, me tou haerenga mai aianei a ake tonu atu.
