Te Īnoi o te Tangata Pai
Nā Rāwiri.
1Whakawākia ahau, e Ihowā,kua haere nei hoki ahau i te tapatahitanga o tōku ngākau;kua whakawhirinaki anō ki a Ihowā, nā, e kore e paheke.2Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowā, whakamātauria ahau,kia kitea ōku whatumanawa me tōku ngākau.3Kei mua hoki tōu atawhai i ōku kanohi;kua haere nei ahau i tōu pono.4Kāhore ahau i noho tahi ki ngā tāngata horihori;e kore anō ahau e tomo tahi me ngā tāngata tinihanga.5Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o ngā kaimahi i te hē,e kore anō ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.6Ka horoia e ahau ōku ringa ki te harakore,ka taiāwhio ai i tāu āta, e Ihowā;7ā, ka rangona tōku reo e whakamoemiti ana,e whakapuaki ana i āu mahi whakamīharo katoa.8E Ihowā, kua aroha nei ahau ki tōu whare nohoanga,ki te wāhi e nohoia ana e tōu korōria.9Kei huia tōku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara,me tōku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto.10He mahi nanakia hoki tā ō rātou ringa;kī tonu ō rātou matau i te utu whakapati.11Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i tōku tapatahi;hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.12E tū ana tōku waewae i te wāhi tika;ka whakapaingia a Ihowā e ahau i roto i ngā whakaminenga.
