1 Na Rawiri. Whakawakia ahau, e Ihowa, kua haere nei hoki ahau i te tapatahitanga o toku ngakau: kua whakawhirinaki ano ki a Ihowa, na, e kore e paheke.

2 Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowa, whakamatauria ahau, kia kitea oku whatumanawa me toku ngakau.

3 Kei mua hoki tou atawhai i oku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tou pono.

4 Kahore ahau i noho tahi ki nga tangata horihori; e kore ano ahau e tomo tahi me nga tangata tinihanga.

5 Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o nga kaimahi i te he, e kore ano ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.

6 Ka horoia e ahau oku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiawhio ai i tau aata, e Ihowa;

7 A ka rangona toku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i au mahi whakamiharo katoa.

8 E Ihowa, kua aroha nei ahau ki tou whare nohoanga, ki te wahi e nohoia ana e tou kororia.

9 Kei huia toku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara, me toku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto.

10 He mahi nanakia hoki ta o ratou ringa; ki tonu o ratou matau i te utu whakapati.

11 Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i toku tapatahi: hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.

12 E tu ana toku waewae i te wahi tika: ka whakapaingia a Ihowa e ahau i roto i nga whakaminenga.

1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:

I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;

Try my heart and my mind.

3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;

And I have walked in thy truth.

4 I have not sat with men of falsehood;

Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I hate the assembly of evil-doers,

And will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency:

So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,

And tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,

And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with men of blood;

10 In whose hands is wickedness,

And their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:

Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place:

In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
