1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene ma nga tama a Koraha. E Ihowa, kua aro mai koe ki tou whenua, kua whakahokia mai e koe a Hakopa i te whakarau.

2 Kua murua e koe te kino o tau iwi, kua hipokina e koe o ratou hara katoa (Hera.

3 Kua mutu katoa tou weriweri; kua tahuri ke koe i te aritarita o tou riri.

4 Whakahokia ake matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga: meinga hoki kia mutu tou riri ki a matou.

5 E riri ranei koe ki a matou ake ake? E mauahara tonu ranei, ki nga whakatupuranga katoa?

6 E kore ianei koe e whakahoki ake i a matou ki te ora: kia hari ai tau iwi ki a koe?

7 E Ihowa, whakakitea mai tau mahi tohu ki a matou: tukua mai ki a matou tau whakaoranga.

8 Ka whakarongo ahau ki ta te Atua, ki ta Ihowa, e korero ai: no te mea mo te rongo mau ana korero ki tana iwi, ki tana hunga tapu hoki; kaua ia ratou e hoki ki te wairangi.

9 Ina, he tata tonu tana whakaoranga ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, kia noho ai te kororia ki to tatou whenua.

10 Kua tutaki te mahi tohu raua ko te pono: kua kihi ki a raua te tika me te rongo mau.

11 Ka tupu ake te pono i te whenua, a ka titiro iho te tika i te rangi.

12 Ae, ka homai e Ihowa te pai: a ka tukua mai ona hua e to tatou whenua.

13 Ka haere te tika i mua i a ia, hei whakatu i a tatou ki te ara o ona hikoinga.

1 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.

2 Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

3 Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

7 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

8 I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

9 Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
