1E Ihowā, e te Atua o tōku whakaoranga,he tangi tāku ki tōu aroaro i te ao, i te pō,2kia tae atu tāku īnoi ki tōu aroaro;whakatītahatia mai tōu taringa ki tāku tangi.3Kua kī hoki tōku wairua i te pōuri,ā, e whakatata ana tōku ora ki te rēinga.4Kua taua tahitia ahau me te hunga e heke ana ki te rua;e rite ana ahau ki te tangata kāhore ōna āwhina!5I makā ki waenga i ngā tūpāpaku,me he tangata i patua e takoto ana i te urupā,kāhore nei e maharatia e koe i muri;he mea momotu kē rātou nā tōu ringa.6Kua whakatakotoria ahau e koe ki te rua i raro riro,ki te pōuri, ki ngā rire.7E pēhia ana ahau e tōu riri,e pākia ana hoki e koe ki āu ngaru katoa. Hera8Kua whakamataratia atu e koe ōku hoa kia tawhiti i ahau;kua meinga ahau e koe hei mea whakarihariha ki a rātou;kua uakina mai ahau, ā, kāhore e puta ki waho;9kua hē tōku kanohi i te tangihanga.E karanga ana ahau ki a koe, e Ihowā,i ngā rā katoa, kua totoro hoki ōku ringa ki a koe.10Tērā rānei koe e mahi merekara ki ngā tūpāpaku?E ara koia te hunga kua mate ki te whakamoemiti ki a koe? Hera11Ka kauwhautia rānei tōu aroha i roto i te urupā?Tōu pono i roto i te ngaromanga?12E mātauria koia āu mea whakamīharo i roto i te pōuri,tōu tika i te whenua o te warewaretanga?13Ko ahau ia kua karanga ki a koe, e Ihowā;ā, i te ata ka tae atu tāku īnoi ki tōu aroaro.14He aha, e Ihowā, i pangā ai tōku wairua e koe?He aha i huna ai tōu mata ki ahau?15Nō tōku tamarikitanga ake anō i pākia ai ahau,i whakahemohemo ai; i ahau e pēhia ana e āu whakawehi,ka pororaru noa iho.16I tika tōu riri nui mā runga i ahau;kua haukotia ahau e āu mea whakawehi.17Ānō he wai rātou ki te karapoti i ahau i te rā roa nei;hui tahi rātou ki te taiāwhio i ahau.18Kua wehea e koe kia tawhiti atu i ahau te hoa hei aroha mai,me ōku hoa ki roto ki te pōuri.
