1E ngana, e Ihowā, ki te hunga e tohe ana ki ahau;
whawhaitia te hunga e whawhai nei ki ahau.
2Kia mau ki te whakangungu rākau, ki te puapua;
whakatika hei āwhina mōku.
3Unuhia te tao, āraia te ara
o te hunga e whai nei i ahau;
kī mai ki tōku wairua,
“Ko ahau tōu whakaoranga.”
4Kia whakamā, kia numinumi te hunga
e whai ana kia whakamatea ahau;
kia whakahokia ki muri,
kia whakapōauautia te hunga
e whakatakoto ana i te kino mōku.
5Kia rite rātou ki te pāpapa e pūhia ana e te hau;
kia āia haeretia e te anahera a Ihowā.
6Kia pōuri tō rātou ara, kia pāhekeheke;
kia whāia rātou e te anahera a Ihowā.
7Kāhore hoki he rawa i hunā ai e rātou te poka o tā rātou kupenga mōku;
he mea keri takekore kia mate ai ahau.
8Kia rokohanga pōauautia ia e te ngaromanga;
kia mau anō ko ia i tāna kupenga i huna ai,
kia taka ia ki taua tino ngaromanga.
9Ā, ka koa tōku wairua ki a Ihowā,
ka hari ki tāna whakaoranga.
10Ka kī katoa ōku wheua,
“E Ihowā, ko wai te rite mōu,
mō te kaiwhakaora o te iti
i te tangata e kaha ake ana i a ia,
āe, o te iti, o te rawakore i tōna kaipāhua?”
11Whakatika ana ngā kaiwhakapae teka;
whakawākia ana ahau mō ngā mea kīhai nei ahau i mātau atu.
12Utua ana e rātou tāku pai ki te kino,
ā, whakatupu pani ana tōku wairua.
13Tēnā ko ahau, i a rātou e mate ana,
he kahu taratara tōku,
waikauwere ana tōku wairua, kīhai i kai;
ā, hoki mai ana tāku īnoi ki tōku uma.
14Ko tōku āhua me te mea he hoa ia, he teina nōku;
kūpapa noa iho ahau,
ānō he tangata e tangi ana ki tōna whaea.
15I tōku paheketanga ia koa ana rātou, huihui ana;
huihui ana ngā tāngata kino noa iho hei hoariri mōku,
kīhai anō ahau i mōhio, haehae ana rātou i ahau,
kīhai hoki i mutu.
16Rite tonu ki ngā kaiwhakakata o ngā hākari,
tetēā ana ō rātou niho ki ahau.
17E te Ariki, kia pēhea te roa o tāu titiro kau mai?
Whakaorangia tōku wairua i ā rātou whakangaromanga,
tāku e aroha nei, i ngā raiona.
18Ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe i roto i te whakaminenga nui,
ka whakamoemiti ki a koe i roto i te iwi maha.
19Kei hari pokanoa ki ahau ōku hoariri;
kei whakakini te kanohi o te hunga e kino noa ana ki ahau.
20Ehara hoki tā rātou i te kōrero mō te rangimārie;
heoi kei te whakatakoto kupu tinihanga rātou
mō te hunga āta noho o te whenua.
21Inā, hāmama ana ō rātou māngai ki ahau,
e kī ana, “Ha, ha,
kua kite tō mātou kanohi!”
22Kua kite koe, e Ihowā; kaua rā e wahangū,
e te Ariki, kei matara i ahau.
23Oho ake, e ara ki te whakarite i tōku whakawā,
ki tāku tautohe, e tōku Atua, e tōku Ariki.
24Kia rite ki tōu tika te whakarite mōku,
e Ihowā, e tōku Atua:
kei koa anō rātou ki ahau.
25Kei mea rātou i roto i ō rātou ngākau,
“Ha, ko tā mātou tēnā i pai ai.”
Kei mea rātou, “Kua horomia ia e tātou.”
26Kia whakamā, kia numinumi ngātahi,
te hunga e koa ana ina hē ahau;
kia whakakākahuria ki te whakamā, ki te numinumi,
te hunga e whakakake ana ki ahau.
27Kia hāmama i te hari,
kia koa te hunga e pai ana ki tāku mahi tika;
āe, kia mea tonu,
“Kia whakanuia a Ihowā
e whakapai nei ki te ora o tāna pononga.”
28Ā, ka kōrerotia e tōku arero tāu mahi tika,
me te whakamoemiti ki a koe i te rā roa.
