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