Te Ture a Ihowā
1 Ka hari te hunga he tapatahi nei i te ara,
e haere nei i te Ture a Ihowā.
2 Ka hari te hunga e mau ana ki āna whakaaturanga;
e whakapaua ana ō rātou ngākau ki te rapu i a ia,
3 āe, e kore rātou e mahi i te kino;
e haere ana rātou i āna ara.
4 Kua oti mātou te whakahau ki āu akoranga,
kia āta puritia e mātou.
5 Auē, me i whakatikaia tōku ara
ki te pupuri i āu akoranga!
6 Ko reira ahau ka kore ai e whakamā;
i ahau ka whai whakaaro nei ki āu whakahau katoa.
7 Ka whakamoemiti ahau ki a koe i runga i te ngākau tika,
ina ako ahau i āu whakaritenga tika.
8 Ka puritia e ahau āu tikanga;
kaua ahau e whakarērea rawatia.
Te Whakarongo ki te Ture a Ihowā
9 He aha te mea e mā ai i te taitamariki tōna ara?
Kia rite ki tāu kupu tāna whakamaharatanga iho.
10 Kua whakapaua e ahau tōku ngākau ki te rapu i a koe;
kaua ahau e tukua kia kotiti kē i āu whakahau.
11 Kua whakatakotoria e ahau tāu kupu ki roto ki tōku ngākau,
kei hara ahau ki a koe.
12 E Ihowā, ka whakapaingia koe;
whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga.
13 Kua whakapuakina e ōku ngutu
ngā whakaritenga katoa a tōu māngai.
14 Ko tōku koa i te ara o āu whakaaturanga,
me te mea mō ngā taonga katoa.
15 Ka whakaaroaro ahau ki āu ako,
ā, ka whai mahara ki āu huarahi.
16 He oranga ngākau ki ahau āu tikanga;
e kore ahau e wareware ki tāu kupu.
Te Hari i te Ture a Ihowā
17 Kia atawhai ki tāu pononga,
kia ora ai ahau; kia puritia ai hoki tāu kupu.
18 Whakatirohia ōku kanohi kia kite ai ahau
i ngā mea whakamīharo i roto i tāu ture.
19 He manene ahau i runga i te whenua;
kaua āu whakahau e hunā ki ahau.
20 Ka ngawhā tōku wairua i te matenui atu
ki āu whakaritenga i ngā wā katoa.
21 Kua rīria e koe te hunga whakakake kua oti nei te kanga,
e kotiti kē nei i āu whakahau,
22 parea atu i ahau te tāwai me te whakahāwea,
kua mau hoki ahau ki āu whakaaturanga.
23 I noho anō hoki ngā rangatira ki te kōrero kino mōku;
otirā e whakaaro ana tāu pononga ki āu tikanga.
24 Ko āu whakaaturanga anō tōku oranga ngākau,
ōku hoa whakatakoto whakaaro.
Te Hiringa kia Whakarongo ki te Ture a Ihowā
25 Piri tonu tōku wairua ki te puehu;
whakahauoratia ahau kia rite ki tāu kupu.
26 I whakaaturia e ahau ōku ara, ā, whakahoki kupu ana koe ki ahau;
whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga.
27 Meinga ahau kia mātau ki te ara o āu ako,
kia whakaaroaro ai ahau ki āu mahi whakamīharo.
28 E māturuturu iho ana tōku wairua i te pōuri;
kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu whakaū ake i ahau.
29 Whakamataratia atu i ahau te ara o te teka;
kia atawhai mai hoki, ā, hōmai tāu ture.
30 Kua whiriwhiria e ahau te ara o te pono;
ka waiho e ahau āu whakaritenga ki tōku aroaro.
31 Piri tonu ahau ki āu whakaaturanga, e Ihowā;
kei whakamā ahau.
32 Ka oma ahau i te ara o āu whakahau,
ina whakanuia e koe tōku ngākau.
He Īnoi mō te Māramatanga
33 E Ihowā, whakaakona ahau ki te ara o āu tikanga;
ā, ka mau i ahau taea noatia te mutunga.
34 Hōmai he mātauranga ki ahau, ā, ka mau i ahau tāu ture;
ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te pupuri.
35 Meinga ahau kia haere i te ara o āu whakahau;
ko tāku hoki tēnā e whakaahuareka nei.
36 Whakaangahia tōku ngākau ki āu whakaaturanga;
kaua hoki ki te apo.
37 Whakatahuritia kētia ōku kanohi kei kite i te horihori;
whakahauorangia ahau i tāu ara.
38 Whakapūmautia tāu kupu ki tāu pononga,
e wehi nei ki a koe.
39 Parea atu tōku tāwainga, e wehi nei ahau,
he pai hoki āu whakaritenga.
40 Nanā, kua matenui ahau ki āu ako;
whakahauorangia ahau i runga i tōu tika.
E Whakawhirinaki ana ki te Ture a Ihowā
41 Kia puta anō āu mahi tohu ki ahau, e Ihowā,
arā tāu whakaoranga, kia rite ki tāu kupu.
42 Pēnei ka whai kupu māku ki tōku kaitāwai;
nōku ka whakawhirinaki ki tāu kupu.
43 Kaua e tangohia rawatia i tōku māngai te kupu o te pono,
e tūmanako nei hoki ahau ki āu whakaritenga.
44 Pēnei ka puritia e ahau tāu ture
ake ake.
45 Ā, ka hāereere noa ahau,
kua rapua hoki e ahau āu akoranga.
46 Ka kōrerotia anō e ahau āu whakaaturanga ki te aroaro o ngā kīngi,
e kore anō e whakamā.
47 Ā, ka waiho e ahau hei oranga ngākau mōku
āu whakahau e aroha nei ahau.
48 Ka toro atu hoki ōku ringa ki āu whakahau e aroha nei ahau,
ka whakaaroaro anō ki āu tikanga.
He Whakamanawatanga ki te Ture a Ihowā
49 Maharatia te kupu ki tāu pononga,
nō te mea kua meinga ahau e koe kia tūmanako atu.
50 Ko tōku oranga ngākau tēnei i ahau e tangi nei;
nā tāu kupu nei hoki ahau i whakahauora.
51 Nui rawa te whakahī ki ahau o te hunga whakakake,
heoi, kīhai ahau i peka kē i tāu ture.
52 I mahara ahau ki āu whakaritenga, e Ihowā, o tua iho;
ā, mārie ana tōku ngākau.
53 Mau pū ahau i te pāwera,
mō te hunga kino kua whakarere nei i tāu ture.
54 Ko āu tikanga āku e hīmene ai
i te whare i noho manene ai ahau.
55 I mahara ahau ki tōu ingoa i te pō, e Ihowā,
ā, puritia ana e ahau tāu ture.
56 I ahau tēnei,
he mau nōku ki āu ako.
Te Whakangākau ki te Ture a Ihowā
57 Ko Ihowā tōku wāhi;
kua mea nei ahau, ka pupuri ahau i āu kupu.
58 I whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te īnoi ki a koe kia pai mai;
kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu mahi tohu ki ahau.
59 I whakaaro ahau ki ōku ara,
ā, anga ana ōku waewae ki āu whakaaturanga;
60 i hohoro ahau,
ā, kīhai i whakaroa ki te pupuri i āu whakahau.
61 Karapotia pūtia ana ahau e ngā here a te hunga kino,
kīhai ia ahau i wareware ki tāu ture.
62 I waenganui pō ka ara ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a koe
mō āu whakaritenga tika.
63 He hoa ahau nō te hunga katoa e wehi ana i a koe,
nō te hunga anō e pupuri ana i āu ako.
64 Kī tonu, e Ihowā, te whenua i tāu mahi tohu;
whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga.
Te Painga o te Ture a Ihowā
65 Pai rawa tāu hanga ki tāu pononga,
e Ihowā, rite tonu ki tāu kupu.
66 Whakaakona ahau ki te ngārahu pai, ki te mātauranga;
kua whakapono hoki ahau ki āu whakahau.
67 I ahau kīanō i whakawhiua, i hē ahau;
tēnā ko tēnei, ka puritia e ahau tāu kupu.
68 He pai koe, he pai hoki āu mahi;
whakaakona ahau ki āu tikanga.
69 Kua titoa e te hunga whakakake he teka mōku;
ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te pupuri i āu ako.
70 He ngako rawa tō rātou ngākau, koia anō kei te taupā;
ko ahau ia, he oranga ngākau ki ahau tāu ture.
71 Mārie anō ahau kia pēhia e te pōuri;
i ako ai ahau i āu tikanga.
72 Ko te ture a tōu māngai pai kē atu ki ahau
i ngā mano o te kōura, o te hiriwa.
Te Tika o te Ture a Ihowā
73 Nā ōu ringa ahau i hanga, i whakawhaiahua;
hōmai he mātauranga ki ahau, kia ako ai ahau ki āu whakahau.
74 Ka hari te hunga e wehi ana i a koe ina kite i ahau;
nōku i tūmanako ki tāu kupu.
75 E mātau ana ahau, e Ihowā, he tika āu whakaritenga,
ā, he pono nōu i pēhia ai tōku ngākau e koe.
76 Tēnā rā, waiho tāu mahi tohu hei whakamārie mōku,
kia rite ki tāu kupu ki tāu pononga.
77 Kia puta ki ahau āu mahi aroha, kia ora ai ahau;
ko tāu ture hoki tōku oranga ngākau.
78 Kia whakamā te hunga whakakake,
nō te mea kāhore he take i hē ai tā rātou hanga ki ahau;
ko ahau ia ka whakaaroaro ki āu akoranga.
79 Ko te hunga e wehi ana ki a koe me anga ki ahau,
ā, ka mōhio rātou ki āu whakaaturanga.
80 Kia tapatahi tōku ngākau ki āu tikanga;
kei whakamā ahau.
He Īnoi mō te Whakawāteatanga
81 E matenui ana tōku wairua ki tāu whakaoranga;
otiia ka tūmanako ahau ki tāu kupu.
82 Matawaia ana ōku kanohi he meatanga ki tāu kupu;
i ahau e mea ana, “Āhea koe whakamārie ai i ahau?”
83 Kua rite nei hoki ahau ki te kōkī i roto i te paoa;
he ahakoa e kore ahau e wareware ki āu tikanga.
84 E hia ngā rā o tāu pononga?
Āhea koe whakarite whakawā ai mō te hunga e tūkino nei i ahau?
85 Kua keri poka te hunga whakakake mōku;
he mea kāhore e rite ki tāu ture.
86 Pono tonu āu whakahau katoa;
e tūkino takekore ana rātou i ahau; āwhinatia mai ahau.
87 Wāhi iti kua mōtī ahau i a rātou i runga i te whenua;
otirā kīhai i mahue i ahau āu akoranga.
88 Kia rite ki tōu aroha tāu whakahauora i ahau;
ā, ka puritia e ahau ngā whakaaturanga a tōu māngai.
Te Whakapono ki te Ture a Ihowā
89 Pūmau tonu tāu kupu, e Ihowā,
ake ake i runga i te rangi.
90 Kei ngā whakatupuranga katoa tōu pono;
whakaūngia ana e koe te whenua, ā, e tū nei anō.
91 E tū nei anō ināianei, pērā tonu me tāu i whakarite ai,
he pononga hoki ngā mea katoa nāu.
92 Me kaua tāu ture hei oranga mō tōku ngākau,
kua ngaro ahau i reira i tōku auētanga.
93 E kore rawa ahau e wareware ki āu ako,
he mea whakahauora hoki nāu ēnā i ahau.
94 Nāu ahau; māu ahau e whakaora,
kua rapua hoki e ahau āu ako.
95 Kua tatari te hunga kino ki ahau kia whakamatea,
ka whakaaro ia ahau ki āu whakaaturanga.
96 Kua kitea e ahau te mutunga o ngā mea tino tika katoa,
he whānui rawa ia tāu whakahau.
Te Aroha ki te Ture a Ihowā
97 Anō tōku aroha ki tāu ture!
Ko tāku tēnā e whakaaroaro ai i te roa o te rā.
98 Nāu i hira ake ai ōku whakaaro i o ōku hoariri,
nā āu whakahau, e piri tonu nei ki ahau.
99 Nui atu ōku mahara i o ōku kaiwhakaako katoa,
nōku i whakaaroaro tonu ki āu whakaaturanga.
100 Tērā atu tōku mōhio i tō ngā kaumātua,
nō te mea i pupuri ahau i āu ako.
101 Kua kaiponuhia mai e ahau ōku waewae i ngā ara kino katoa,
kia pupuri ai ahau i tāu kupu.
102 Kīhai ahau i tītaha i āu whakaritenga;
nāu hoki ahau i ako.
103 Anō te reka o āu kupu ki tōku ngao,
āe rā, reka atu i te honi ki tōku māngai.
104 Nā āu ako ahau i whai mōhio ai;
nā reira ahau i kino ai ki ngā ara teka katoa.
Te Mārama mai i te Ture a Ihowā
105 He rama tāu kupu ki ōku waewae,
he mārama ki tōku ara.
106 Kua oati ahau, ā, ka whakamanā anō e ahau,
kia puritia e ahau āu whakaritenga tika.
107 He nui te mamae o tōku ngākau;
whakahauorangia ahau, e Ihowā, kia rite ki tāu kupu.
108 Manakohia, e Ihowā, ngā ohaohatanga a tōku māngai,
whakaakona hoki ahau ki āu whakaritenga.
109 Kei tōku ringa tonu tōku wairua,
heoi kāhore ahau e wareware ki tāu ture.
110 Kua whakatakotoria e te hunga kino he māhanga mōku,
heoi, kāhore ahau i peka kē i āu ako.
111 Ka waiho e ahau āu whakaaturanga hei kāinga tupu mōku ake ake;
ko tōku koanga ngākau hoki ēnā.
112 Kua whakaanga e ahau tōku ngākau ki te mahi tonu i āu tikanga;
ā te mutunga rā anō.
Te Whakarurutanga i te Ture a Ihowā
113 E kino ana ahau ki te hunga whakaaro ruarua,
ko tāu ture ia tāku e aroha ai.
114 Ko tōku piringa koe, ko tōku whakangungu rākau;
e tūmanako ana ahau ki tāu kupu.
115 Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga kino,
ka whakaritea hoki e ahau ngā whakahau a tōku Atua.
116 Kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu tautoko ake i ahau, kia ora ai ahau,
kaua hoki ahau e tukua kia whakamā ki tāku e tūmanako atu nei.
117 Tautokona ake ahau, kia ora ai ahau,
ā, ka whai whakaaro tonu ahau ki āu tikanga.
118 Kua whakahāweatia e koe te hunga katoa e kotiti kē ana i āu tikanga;
he horihori hoki tō rātou tinihanga.
119 Ka whakakāhoretia e koe te hunga kino katoa o te whenua, ānō he para mata;
koia ahau i aroha ai ki āu whakaaturanga.
120 Wiri ana ōku kikokiko i te wehi ki a koe,
e mataku ana hoki ahau ki āu whakaritenga.
Te Whakarongo ki te Ture a Ihowā
121 He whakawā tika, he tika tāku mahi;
kaua ahau e tukua ki ōku kaitūkino.
122 Ko koe hei tuarā mō tāu pononga mō te pai;
kei tūkinotia ahau e te hunga whakakake.
123 Matawaia ana ōku kanohi i te meatanga ki tāu whakaora,
ki te kupu hoki o tāu tika.
124 Kia rite ki tōu aroha tāu mahi ki tāu pononga;
whakaakona hoki ahau ki āu tikanga.
125 He pononga ahau nāu; hōmai he mahara ki ahau,
kia mātau ai ki āu whakaaturanga.
126 Kua rite te wā hei mahinga mā Ihowā;
kua whakakāhoretia hoki e rātou tāu ture.
127 Nā reira i arohaina rawatia ai e ahau āu whakahau
i te kōura, āe, i te tino kōura.
128 Nā reira tika tonu ki ahau āu ako katoa mō ngā mea katoa;
kino iho anō ahau ki ngā ara teka katoa.
Te Hiahia kia Whakarongo ki te Ture a Ihowā
129 He mea whakamīharo āu whakaaturanga;
i mau ai tōku wairua ki reira.
130 Ko te whakapuakanga o āu kupu he hōmai mārama;
nā reira i hōmai he mahara ki ngā kūware.
131 I hāmama tōku māngai, i kihakiha;
he matenui nōku ki āu whakahau.
132 Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau;
kia rite ki tāu hanga ki te hunga e aroha ana ki tōu ingoa.
133 Whakatikaia ōku hīkoinga ki runga i tāu kupu;
kaua hoki tētahi hē e tukua hei rangatira mōku.
134 Whakaorangia ahau i te tūkino a te tangata;
ā, ka puritia e ahau āu ako.
135 Kia mārama mai tōu mata ki tāu pononga;
whakaakona hoki ahau ki āu tikanga.
136 Heke noa ngā awa wai o ōku kanohi;
mō rātou kāhore i pupuri i tāu ture.
Te Tika o te Ture a Ihowā
137 He tika koe, e Ihowā,
he tika anō āu whakaritenga.
138 He tika, he pono rawa āu whakaaturanga
i whakahaua mai e koe.
139 Ka ngaro ahau i tōku ngākau whakapuke,
mō āu kupu ka wareware nei i ōku hoariri.
140 Hore rawa he para o tāu kupu;
koia i arohaina ai e tāu pononga.
141 He iti ahau, e whakahāweatia ana;
heoi, kāhore ahau e wareware ki āu ako.
142 He tika pūmau tonu tōu tika;

144 Pūmau tonu te tika o āu whakaaturanga;
hōmai he mahara ki ahau, ā, ka ora ahau.
He Īnoi mō te Whakawāteatanga
145 I whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te karanga;
whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e Ihowā.
Ka mau i ahau āu tikanga.
146 I karanga ahau ki a koe; whakaorangia ahau,
ā, ka puritia e ahau āu whakaaturanga.
147 Kīanō te ata i pūao noa, kua karanga ahau;
i tūmanako ahau ki āu kupu.
148 I hohoro ōku kanohi i ngā mataaratanga
ki te whakaaroaro ki tāu kupu.
149 Whakarongo ki tōku reo, kia rite ki tōu aroha;
kia rite, e Ihowā, ki tāu i whakarite ai tāu whakahauora i ahau.
150 E whakatata mai ana te hunga e whai ana i te whanokē;
kei tawhiti atu rātou i tāu ture.
151 E tata ana mai koe, e Ihowā;
he pono katoa āu whakahau.
152 Nōnamata ahau i mātau ai ki āu whakaaturanga,
he mea whakapūmau nāu nō tua whakarere.
He Īnoi mō te Āwhina
153 Whakaaro mai ki tōku mate, ā, whakaorangia ahau;
kāhore hoki ahau e wareware ki tāu ture.
154 Tohea tāku tohe, whakaorangia hoki ahau;
kia rite ki tāu kupu tāu whakahauoranga i ahau.
155 Kei tawhiti atu i te hunga kino te whakaoranga;
kāhore hoki rātou e rapu ki āu tikanga.
156 E Ihowā, he nui āu mahi tohu;
kia rite ki āu whakaritenga tāu whakahauora i ahau.
157 He tokomaha ōku kaitūkino, ōku hoariri,
heoi, kāhore ahau i peka kē i āu whakaaturanga.
158 I kite ahau i ngā kaimahi i te kino, ā pōuri iho,
nō rātou kāhore e pupuri i tāu kupu.
159 Tirohia mai tōku aroha ki āu ako;
kia rite ki tōu aroha, e Ihowā, tāu whakahauora i ahau.
160 Ko te huinga katoatanga o tāu kupu he pono;
pūmau katoa anō āu whakaritenga tika ake ake.
Te Ngākau Nui ki te Ture a Ihowā
161 Hore he rawa i tūkinotia ai ahau e ngā rangatira,
otiia, e wehi ana tōku ngākau i tāu kupu.
162 E hari ana ahau ki tāu kupu,
ānō he tangata kua whiwhi ki te taonga nui.
163 E kino ana ahau, e whakarihariha ana ki te kōrero teka;
ko tāu ture ia tāku i aroha ai.
164 Takiwhitu āku whakamoemiti ki a koe
i te rā tahi mō āu whakaritenga tika.
165 He rangimārie nui tō te hunga e aroha ana ki tāu ture;
e kore hoki ō rātou waewae e tūtuki.
166 Ā, kua tūmanako ahau ki tāu whakaora, e Ihowā,

170 Kia tae atu tāku īnoi ki tōu aroaro;
kia rite ki tāu kupu whakaora i ahau.
171 Kia whakapuaki ōku ngutu i te whakamoemiti;
e whakaako ana hoki koe i ahau ki āu tikanga.
172 Mā tōku arero e kōrero tāu kupu;
he tika hoki āu whakahau katoa.
173 Kia rite tōu ringa ki te āwhina i ahau;
kua whiriwhiria hoki e ahau ko āu ako.
174 Kua matenui ahau ki tāu whakaora, e Ihowā;
