25
He Īnoi mō te Ārahi me te Whakangungu
Nā Rāwiri.
1 Ka ara nei tōku wairua ki a koe, e Ihowā;
2 e tōku Atua, ko koe tōku whakawhirinakitanga;
kei whakamā ahau,
aua ōku hoariri e tukua kia whakaputa ki ahau.
3 Āe, aua tētahi o te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe e tukua kia whakamā;
kia whakamā te hunga e tinihanga noa ana.
4 Whakakitea ki ahau āu ara, e Ihowā;
whakaakona ahau ki āu huarahi.
5 Ārahina ahau i tōu pono, whakaakona hoki ahau;
ko koe hoki te Atua o tōku whakaoranga;
pau noa te rā i ahau e tatari nei ki a koe.
6 E Ihowā, kia mahara ki āu mahi tohu, ki āu mahi aroha;
nōnamata riro hoki ēnā.
7 Kaua e maharatia ngā hara o tōku tamarikitanga, me ōku kino;
mahara mai koe ki ahau, e Ihowā,
kia rite ki tāu mahi tohu, kia whakaaro ki tōu pai.
8 He pai, he tika a Ihowā,
ā, ka whakaakona e ia te hunga hara ki te huarahi.
9 Ka ārahina e ia te hunga māhaki i runga i te whakawā;
ka ākona hoki e ia te hunga māhaki ki tāna ara.
10 He mahi tohu, he pono ngā ara katoa o Ihowā
ki te hunga e pupuri ana i tāna kawenata, i āna whakaaturanga.
11 Kia mahara ki tōu ingoa, e Ihowā,
ā, murua tōku kino, he nui nei hoki.
12 Ko wai te tangata e wehi ana ki a Ihowā?
Ka whakaako ia i a ia ki te ara e pai ai ia.
13 Ka noho tōna wairua i runga i te pai,
ā, ka riro te whenua i tōna uri.
14 Kei te hunga e wehi ana i a ia te mea ngaro a Ihowā;
ā, māna e whakakite ki a rātou tāna kawenata.
15 E tau tonu ana ōku kanohi ki a Ihowā;
māna hoki e unu ake ōku waewae i te kupenga.
16 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau;
he mokemoke hoki ahau, e mamae ana te ngākau.
17 Kua whakanuia ngā whakapāwera o tōku ngākau;
whakaputaina ahau i roto i ngā mea e pēhi nei i ahau.
18 Tirohia tōku mate me tōku mamae,
ā, murua katoatia ōku hara.
19 Tirohia mai ōku hoariri, he tokomaha hoki rātou;
ā, he nanakia te kino e kino nei rātou ki ahau.
20 Tiakina tōku wairua, ā, whakaorangia ahau;
kei whakamā ahau; e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a koe.
21 Tukua mā te ngākau tapatahi, mā te tika ahau e tiaki;
e tūmanako ana hoki ahau ki a koe.
22 Hokona, e te Atua, a Īharaira
i roto i ōna whakapāwera katoa.
