1 ¶ Na Rawiri. Ka ara nei toku wairua ki a koe, e Ihowa.2 E toku Atua, ko koe toku whakawhirinakitanga: kei whakama ahau, aua oku hoariri e tukua kia whakaputa ki ahau.3 Ae, aua tetahi o te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e tukua kia whakama: kia whakama te hunga e tinihanga noa ana.4 Whakakitea ki ahau au ara, e Ihowa; whakaakona ahau ki au huarahi.5 Arahina ahau i tou pono, whakaakona hoki ahau: ko koe hoki te Atua o toku whakaoranga; pau noa te ra i ahau e tatari nei ki a koe.6 E Ihowa, kia mahara ki au mahi tohu, ki au mahi aroha; nonamata riro hoki ena.7 Kaua e maharatia nga hara o toku tamarikitanga, me oku kino: mahara mai koe ki ahau, e Ihowa, kia rite ki tau mahi tohu, kia whakaaro ki tou pai.

8 ¶ He pai, he tika a Ihowa, a ka whakaakona e ia te hunga hara ki te huarahi.9 Ka arahina e ia te hunga mahaki i runga i te whakawa: ka akona hoki e ia te hunga mahaki ki tana ara.10 He mahi tohu, he pono nga ara katoa o Ihowa ki te hunga e pupuri ana i tana kawenata, i ana whakaaturanga.11 Kia mahara ki tou ingoa, e Ihowa, a murua toku kino, he nui nei hoki.12 Ko wai te tangata e wehi ana ki a Ihowa? Ka whakaako ia i a ia ki te ara e pai ai ia.13 Ka noho tona wairua i runga i te pai, a ka riro te whenua i tona uri.14 Kei te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te mea ngaro a Ihowa; a mana e whakakite ki a ratou tana kawenata.

15 ¶ E tau tonu ana oku kanohi ki a Ihowa; mana hoki e unu ake oku waewae i te kupenga.16 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau; he mokemoke hoki ahau, e mamae ana te ngakau.17 Kua whakanuia nga whakapawera o toku ngakau: whakaputaina ahau i roto i nga mea e pehi nei i ahau.18 Tirohia toku mate me toku mamae, a murua katoatia oku hara.19 Tirohia mai oku hoariri, he tokomaha hoki ratou: a he nanakia te kino e kino nei ratou ki ahau.20 Tiakina toku wairua, a whakaorangia ahau: kei whakama ahau; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a koe.21 Tukua ma te ngakau tapatahi, ma te tika ahau e tiaki; e tumanako ana hoki ahau ki a koe.22 Hokona, e te Atua, a Iharaira i roto i ona whakapawera katoa.
