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 By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

2 Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.

3 For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5 I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

6 I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

9 Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

10 In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

11 And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

12 My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
