Te Kaha me te Tika o te Atua
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: Muturapena. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.
1 Ka whakapaua tōku ngākau ki te whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā,
ka kōrerotia e ahau āu mahi whakamīharo katoa.
2 Ka koa ahau, ka whakamanamana ki a koe,
ka hīmene atu ki tōu ingoa, e te Runga Rawa.
3 I te hokinga whakamuri o ōku hoariri,
tūtuki ana rātou, ngaro iho i tōu aroaro.
4 Nāu hoki i whakatika āku kōrero me tōku whakawā;
i runga koe i te torōna e noho ana, e whakarite tika ana.
5 Kua whakatūpehupehu koe ki ngā tauiwi,
hunā ana e koe te tangata kino,
horoia atu ana tō rātou ingoa ake ake.
6 Ko te hoariri, mutu pū rātou, he ngaromanga oti tonu iho;
ā, ko ngā pā i hunā e koe,
ngaro whakarere tō rātou whakamaharatanga.
7 Ko Ihowā ia noho tonu hei kīngi, ake, ake;
kua whakapaia e ia tōna torōna mō te whakawā.
8 Ā, e whakarite ia mō te ao i runga i te tika,
ka whakatakoto tikanga mō ngā iwi i runga i te pono.
9 Hei pā teko anō a Ihowā mō te tangata e tūkinotia ana,
hei pā teko i ngā wā o te hē.
10 Ā, ka whakawhirinaki ki a koe te hunga e mātau ana ki tōu ingoa;
nō te mea e kore e whakarērea e koe,
e Ihowā, te hunga e rapu ana i a koe.
11 Hīmene ki a Ihowā e noho nei i Hiona.
Whakapuakina i waenganui ngā iwi āna mahi.
12 Ka whakataki toto ia, ka mahara ia ki a rātou;
kāhore e wareware i a ia te karanga a te hunga iti.
13 Tohungia ahau, e Ihowā;
titiro ki tōku mate i te hunga e kino ana ki ahau,
e te kaiwhakaara i ahau i ngā tatau o te mate;
14 kia whakakitea katoatia ai e ahau
ōu whakamoemiti i ngā tatau o te tamāhine o Hiona;
ka hari ahau ki tāu whakaoranga.
15 Kua tapoko ngā tauiwi ki te rua i keria e rātou;
kua mau tō rātou waewae i roto i te kupenga i hunā e rātou.
16 Kua mātauria a Ihowā ki te whakawā e whakaritea ana e ia;
he māhanga mō te tangata kino te mahi a ōna ringa.
Hikaiono. Hera.
17 Ka hoki ngā tāngata kino ki te rēinga,
arā ngā iwi katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua.
18 E kore hoki e warewarea tonutia te tangata rawakore;
e kore e taka tonu tā te hunga iti i tūmanako atu ai.
19 E ara, e Ihowā, kei riro i tā te tangata;
kia whakawākia ngā tauiwi i tōu aroaro.
20 E Ihowā, meinga rātou kia wehi;
kia mātau ngā tauiwi he tangata nei anō rātou.
Hera
