He Īnoi mō te Āwhina
He hīmene nā Rāwiri.
1E Ihowā, whakarongo ki tāku īnoi,kia tītaha mai tōu taringa ki āku īnoi;whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahaui runga i tōu pono, i runga i tōu tika.2Ā, kaua e anga e whakawā ki tāu pononga;ki tāu titiro hoki kāhore tētahi mea ora e tika.3Kua tūkinotia hoki tōku wairua e te hoariri,patua iho e ia tōku ora ki raro ki te whenua;meinga ana ahau e ia kia noho i ngā wāhi pōuri,kia rite ki ngā tūpāpaku onamata.4Nā reira i ngaro ai tōku wairua i roto i ahau;mōtī rawa tōku ngākau i roto i ahau.5E mahara ana ahau ki ngā rā onamata;e whakaaro ana ki āu mahi katoa,e whakaaroaro ana ahau ki ngā meatanga a ōu ringa.6Totoro tonu atu ōku ringa ki a koe;e hiainu ana tōku wairua ki a koe, ānō he whenua māuiui. Hera7Hohoro te whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau, e Ihowā;ka hemo tōku wairua.Kei hunā tōu mata ki ahau;kei rite ahau ki te hunga e heke ana ki te poka.8Meinga kia rongo ahau ki tōu aroha i te ata;e whakawhirinaki ana hoki ahau ki a koe.Meinga kia mātau ahau ki te ara e haere ai ahau;kua ara nei hoki tōku wairua ki a koe.9Whakaorangia ahau, e Ihowā, i ōku hoariri;ka kuhu nei ahau ki roto ki a koe.10Whakaakona ahau ki te mea i tāu e pai ai;ko koe hoki tōku Atua.He pai tōu wairua;ārahina ahau ki te whenua o te tika.11Whakahauorangia ahau, e Ihowā, he whakaaro ki tōu ingoa.Whakaarohia tōu tika, ka whakaputa ake i tōku wairua i roto i te pōuri.12Aroha mai hoki, ā, hunā ōku hoariri;whakangaromia katoatia anō ngā kaitūkino o tōku wairua;he pononga hoki ahau nāu.
