1 Na Horomona. Homai, e te Atua, au whakaritenga ki te kingi, me tou tika ki te tama a te kingi.

2 Mana e whakawa tou iwi i runga i te tika, au rawakore i runga i te whakawa tika.

3 Ka kawea mai e nga maunga te rongo mau ki te iwi, e nga pukepuke i runga i te tika.

4 Ka whakawa ia mo nga ware o te iwi: ka whakaorangia e ia nga tamariki a te rawakore; mongamonga noa i a ia te kaitukino.

5 I te ra e mau ana, i te marama hoki, ka pera te mau o to ratou wehi ki a koe i nga whakatupuranga katoa.

6 E heke iho ia ano he ua ki runga ki te kotinga tarutaru, me nga ua e whakamakuku nei i te whenua.

7 Ka tupu te tangata tika i ona ra: tona roa ano o te ata noho, a kore noa te marama.

8 Ka kingi ia i tenei moana, a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa, a nga pito atu ano o te whenua.

9 Ka piko ki tona aroaro te hunga o te koraha: a ka mitimiti ona hoariri i te puehu.

10 Ka maua mai he hakari e nga kingi o Tarahihi, o nga motu: ka kawea mai he tahua e nga kingi o Hepa, o Tepa.

11 Ae, ka koropiko nga kingi katoa ki a ia: ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia.

12 Ka ora hoki i a ia te rawakore ua tangi atu, te ware hoki me te tangata kahore nei ona kaiawhina.

13 E tohu ia i te tangata iti, i te rawakore; ka ora ano i a ia nga wairua o nga rawakore.

14 Ka hokona e ia to ratou wairua i roto i te tukino, i te tutu, he mea utu nui hoki o ratou toto ki tana titiro.

15 A e ora ratou; ka hoatu ano ki a ia he koura no Hepa: ka tukua tonutia hoki te inoi mona; ka whakapaingia ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra.

16 He kutanga witi tera i runga i te whenua, i te tihi o nga maunga; ngarue ana ona hua, ano ko Repanona, a ka rite te tupu o nga tangata o te pa ki to te tarutaru o te whenua.

17 Ka mau tonu tona ingoa ake ake; ka rite tona ingoa ki te ra te pumau: kei roto i a ia te manaaki mo te tangata; ka korerotia tona koa e nga iwi katoa.

18 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua, te Atua o Iharaira: ko ia nei anake hei mahi i nga mahi whakamiharo;

19 Kia whakapaingia ano tona ingoa kororia mo ake tonu atu; kia ki katoa hoki te whenua i tona kororia. Amine, ae Amine.

20 Ko te mutunga tenei o nga inoi a Rawiri, a te tama a Hehe.

1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
