Ki te Wahangū te Atua
Nā Rāwiri.
1Ka karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā,e tōku kōhatu, kaua e wahangū ki ahau.Ki te wahangū hoki koe ki ahau,ka rite ahau ki te hunga e heke atu ana ki te poka.2Whakarongo ki tōku reo īnoi,ua karanga ahau ki a koe,ina totoro ōku ringaki tōu ahurewa tapu.3Kaua ahau e kūmea tahitia me te hunga hē;me ngā kaimahi i te kino,he mārie ā rātou kupu ki ō rātou hoa,he kino ia kei roto i ō rātou ngākau.4Kia rite ki ā rātou mahi tāu e hoatu ai ki a rātou,ki te kino anō o ā rātou hanga;kia rite ki ngā mahi a ō rātou ringa tāu e hoatu ai ki a rātou,whakahokia tā rātou utu ki a rātou.5Nā, kāhore nei rātou e whakaaro ki ngā mahi a Ihowā,ki ngā meatanga a ōna ringa,mō reira ka whakahoroa iho rātou e ia,e kore anō e whakatūria ake.6Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā mōnai whakarongo mai ki tōku reo īnoi.7Ko Ihowā tōku kaha, tōku whakangungu rākau;i whakawhirinaki tōku ngākau ki a ia,ā, āwhinatia ana ahau; koia i hari ai tōku ngākau,i whakamoemiti ai hoki tāku waiata ki a ia.8Ko Ihowā tō rātou kaha,ko ia anō te kaha whakaora o tāna tangata i whakawahi ai.9Whakaorangia tāu iwi, manaakitia tōu kāinga tupu;whāngainga rātou, whakaarahia ake ake.
