1 ¶ He himene na Rawiri, hei whakamahara. E Ihowa, kaua e whakatupehupehu mai ki ahau ina riri koe, kaua ano ahau e pakia ina arita koe.2 Titi tonu hoki au pere ki ahau: kaha rawa te pehi a tou ringa i ahau.3 Kahore he wahi ora o oku kikokiko, na tou riri hoki: kahore ano e ata takoto oku wheua, noku i hara nei.4 Kua taupokina iho hoki toku matenga e oku kino: ano he pikaunga taimaha e pehi rawa ana i ahau.5 E piro ana oku whiunga, kua pirau i taku mahi poauau.6 E whakawiria ana ahau, piko rawa; e tangi haere ana i te roa o te ra.7 Kei te tahuna hoki toku hope, kapi tonu: kahore hoki he wahi ora o oku kikokiko.8 Kua kore oku kaha, maru rawa ahau: hamama ana taku aue i te mamae o toku ngakau.9 E te Ariki, kei tou aroaro oku hiahia katoa; kahore hoki e ngaro i a koe taku aue.10 Kihakiha kau toku ngakau, kua hemo toku kaha: me te marama o oku kanohi, kua kore hoki ena oku.11 Matara noa atu i toku mate te turanga mai o nga tangata i aroha mai ki ahau, o oku hoa hoki; i tawhiti ano oku whanaunga e tu ke mai ana.

12 ¶ E whakatakoto mahanga ana moku te hunga e whai ana i ahau kia whakamatea; he nanakia ano nga kupu a te hunga e rapu ana i te he moku; he whakaaro tinihanga ano a ratou a pau noa te ra.13 Ko ahau ia, i rite ki te turi, kihai i rongo, ki te tangata wahangu, kahore nei e hamamu tona mangai.14 Na rite tonu ahau ki te tangata kahore nei e rongo, kahore nei he whakatupehupehu i tona mangai.15 E tumanako nei hoki ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa: ka whakahoki kupu mai ano koe, e te Ariki, e toku Atua.16 I mea hoki ahau, Kei koa mai ratou ki ahau: ka paheke toku waewae, ka whakahihi ratou ki ahau.17 Ko ahau hoki, meake kopa, a kei inua tonu i ahau toku pouri.18 Ka whaki hoki ahau i toku kino, ka pouri mo toku hara.19 Ko oku hoariri ia hauhau tonu, kaha tonu; kua tokomaha ano te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau.20 He hoariri ano ki ahau te hunga e utu ana i te pai ki te kino: moku e whai ana i te pai.21 Kaua ahau e whakarerea, e Ihowa, e toku Atua; kei mamao atu koe i ahau.22 Hohoro ki te awhina i ahau, e te Ariki, e toku whakaoranga.
