¹¶ I te putanga mai o Iharaira i Ihipa, o te whare o Hakopa i te iwi reo ke,

¹In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

²Ko Hura tona wahi tapu, ko Iharaira tona rangatiratanga.

²Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³I kite te moana, a whati ana: i whakahokia ki muri a Horano.

³The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

⁴Pekepeke ana nga maunga ano he hipi toa, nga pukepuke ano he reme.

⁴The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

⁵I ahatia koe, e te moana, i whati ai koe e Horano, i whakahokia ai koe ki muri?

⁵What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

⁶E nga maunga, i pekepeke ai koutou ano he hipi toa; e nga pukepuke, ano he reme?

⁶O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

⁷E wiri, e te whenua, i te aroaro o te Ariki; i te aroaro o te Atua o Hakopa;

⁷From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

⁸I meinga ai te toka hei hopua wai; te kiripaka hei puna wai.

⁸He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
