- (He hikaiono na Rawiri, tana i waiata ai ki a Ihowa, mo nga kupu a Kuhu Peniamine.) E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kei a koe taku whakawhirinakitanga: kia ora ahau i te hunga katoa e tukino ana i a au, kia mokowhiti atu hoki ahau:
- 2
- Kei hahae ia i toku wairua, ano he raiona, a titaritari noa, i te mea kahore he tangata hei arai atu.
- 3
- E Ihowa, e toku Atua, ki te mea naku tena mahi, ki te mea he hara kei oku ringaringa;
- 4
- Ki te mea i whakahokia e ahau he kino ki te tangata kua mau nei ta maua rongo; (i whakaora nei hoki ahau i te tangata i kino noa mai ki a au;)
- 5
- Kia arumia toku wairua e te hoa riri, a kia mau; kia takahia hoki taku ora e ia ki te whenua, kia whakatakotoria ano toku kororia ki roto ki te puehu. Hera.
- 6
- E Ihowa, whakatika, kia riri koe, ara ake, e nana nei hoki oku hoa whawhai: kia oho ake hoki koe ki a au ki te whakawa i kiia e koe.
- 7
- Penei ka karapotia koe e te whakaminenga o nga iwi: kia mahara ki a ratou, a hoki atu ano ki runga.
- 8
- Ma Ihowa e whakarite whakawa mo te iwi; kia rite, e Ihowa, tau whakarite whakawa moku ki taku mahi tika, ki te tapatahitanga hoki o aku whakaaro.
- 9
- Kia whakamutua ra te kino o te hunga kino; whakaukia hoki te tangata tika: e whakamatautau ana hoki te Atua tika i nga ngakau, i nga whatumanawa.
- 10
- Kei te Atua taku whakangungu rakau, mana e whakaora te hunga ngakau tika.
- 11
- Ka whakarite whakawa te Atua mo te tangata tika, a e kore e riri i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
- 12
- Ki te kore ia e tahuri, ka whakakoia e ia tana hoari; kua whakapikoa e ia tana kopere, a oti rawa te whakapai.
- 13
- Oti rawa ano hoki ana mea whakamate te whakapai e ia; kua whakatikaia mai e ia ana pere ki te hunga tukino.
- 14
- Nana, he kino te mea e whakamamae nei ia; he mahi nanakia te mea i hapu ki roto ki a ia a whanau ake he teka.
- 15
- I pokaia e ia he poka he mea keri nana, na, taka iho ia ki roto ki te rua i mahia e ia.
- 16
- Ka hoki mai tana whakaaro nanakia ki runga ki tona mahunga, a ka tau iho tana mahi tukino ki runga ki tona tumuaki.
- 17
- Ka rite ki tona tika taku whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa: ka himene atu hoki ahau ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Runga-rawa.
