1 Na Rawiri. Ka ara nei toku wairua ki a koe, e Ihowa.

2 E toku Atua, ko koe toku whakawhirinakitanga: kei whakama ahau, aua oku hoariri e tukua kia whakaputa ki ahau.

3 Ae, aua tetahi o te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e tukua kia whakama: kia whakama te hunga e tinihanga noa ana.

4 Whakakitea ki ahau au ara, e Ihowa; whakaakona ahau ki au huarahi.

5 Arahina ahau i tou pono, whakaakona hoki ahau: ko koe hoki te Atua o toku whakaoranga; pau noa te ra i ahau e tatari nei ki a koe.

6 E Ihowa, kia mahara ki au mahi tohu, ki au mahi aroha; nonamata riro hoki ena.

7 Kaua e maharatia nga hara o toku tamarikitanga, me oku kino: mahara mai koe ki ahau, e Ihowa, kia rite ki tau mahi tohu, kia whakaaro ki tou pai.

8 He pai, he tika a Ihowa, a ka whakaakona e ia te hunga hara ki te huarahi.

9 Ka arahina e ia te hunga mahaki i runga i te whakawa: ka akona hoki e ia te hunga mahaki ki tana ara.

10 He mahi tohu, he pono nga ara katoa o Ihowa ki te hunga e pupuri ana i tana kawenata, i ana whakaaturanga.

11 Kia mahara ki tou ingoa, e Ihowa, a murua toku kino, he nui nei hoki.

12 Ko wai te tangata e wehi ana ki a Ihowa? Ka whakaako ia i a ia ki te ara e pai ai ia.

13 Ka noho tona wairua i runga i te pai, a ka riro te whenua i tona uri.

14 Kei te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te mea ngaro a Ihowa; a mana e whakakite ki a ratou tana kawenata.

15 E tau tonu ana oku kanohi ki a Ihowa; mana hoki e unu ake oku waewae i te kupenga.

16 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau; he mokemoke hoki ahau, e mamae ana te ngakau.

17 Kua whakanuia nga whakapawera o toku ngakau: whakaputaina ahau i roto i nga mea e pehi nei i ahau.

18 Tirohia toku mate me toku mamae, a murua katoatia oku hara.

19 Tirohia mai oku hoariri, he tokomaha hoki ratou: a he nanakia te kino e kino nei ratou ki ahau.

20 Tiakina toku wairua, a whakaorangia ahau: kei whakama ahau; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a koe.

21 Tukua ma te ngakau tapatahi, ma te tika ahau e tiaki; e tumanako ana hoki ahau ki a koe.

22 Hokona, e te Atua, a Iharaira i roto i ona whakapawera katoa.

A Psalm of David.

1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
