11
He Whakamanawatanga i roto i a Ihowā
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Nā Rāwiri.
1 Ko Ihowā tāku e whakawhirinaki ai;
he aha koutou ka mea ai ki tōku wairua,
“Rere ā-manu atu ki tō koutou maunga?
2 Nanā, kua whakapikoa te kōpere e te hunga kino,
e whakatikaia ana ā rātou pere ki te aho,
hei perenga pukutanga mā rātou ki te hunga ngākau tika.
3 Ki te wāwāhia ngā tūranga ake,
me pēhea te tangata tika?”
4 Kei tōna temepara tapu a Ihowā,
kei te rangi te torōna o Ihowā.
E titiro ana ōna kanohi,
e whakamātautau ana ōna kamo i ngā tama a te tangata.
5 E whakamātautau ana a Ihowā i te tangata tika;
ā, e kinongia ana e tōna wairua te tangata kino me te tangata
e aroha ana ki te tutū.
6 Ka uaina e ia ki runga ki te hunga kino he māhanga,
he ahi, he whānāriki, he āwhā tuai kerekere;
ko te wāhi tēnā mō tō rātou kapu.
7 Nō te mea he tika a Ihowā,
e aroha ana ki te tika;
ka kite te hunga tika i tōna kanohi.
