32  Na Rawiri: he Makiri. Ka hari te tangata kua oti tana he te muru, tona hara te hipoki.

² Ka hari te tangata kahore nei e whakairia e Ihowa he hara ki a ia, a kahore he hianga i tona wairua.

³ I ahau kihai i kuihi, ngahengahe kau oku iwi i taku auetanga i te ra roa.

⁴ No tou ringa i taimaha ki ahau i te ao, i te po; kua whakaputaina ketia toku makukuranga, ano na te maroketanga o te raumati. (Hera.

⁵ I whakina e ahau toku hara ki a koe, kihai hoki i huna i toku kino: i mea ahau, Ka whakina aku mahi tutu ki a Ihowa; a murua ana e koe te kino o toku hara. (Hera.

⁶ Mo konei ka inoi ki a koe nga tangata tapu katoa i te wa e kitea ai koe: he pono ka ngawha nga wai nui, e kore e tata ki a ia.

⁷ Ko koe toku piringa; mau ahau e whakaora i te pouri, mau ahau e karapoti ki nga waiata whakaora. (Hera.

⁸ Ka tohutohungia koe e ahau, ka whakaakona koe ki te ara e haere ai koe; ma toku kanohi koe e arahi.

⁹ Kei rite koutou ki te hoiho, ki te muera ranei, kahore nei he matauranga; he mea kuku nei o raua kauae ki te paraire, ki te moka hei pupuri mai; ki te kore hoki, e kore e tata ki a koe.

¹⁰ He tini nga mea whakapouri mo te tangata hara: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa, ka karapotia e te atawhai.

¹¹ Kia koa ki a Ihowa, whakamanamana, e te hunga tika: kia hari, hamama, e te hunga ngakau tika katoa.

51  Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri, i te taenga o Natana poropiti ki a ia, mo tona haerenga ki a Patehepa. Tohungia ahau, e te Atua, kia rite ki tou atawhai: kia rite ki tou aroha nui te murunga o oku he.

² Horoia rawatia toku kino: kia ma hoki toku hara.

³ E whaki ana hoki ahau i aku mahi tutu: kei toku aroaro tonu toku hara.

⁴ He hara ki a koe, ki a koe anake, toku; i meatia ano tenei he ki tou aroaro; kia tika ai koe i tau korerotanga, kia ma ai hoki ina whakawa.

⁵ Na i whakaahuatia ahau i roto i te kino, i runga ano i te hara toku whakahaputanga ki roto ki toku whaea.

⁶ Na ko tau e matenui ai ko te pono i nga wahi o roto, a ka whakaakona oku wahi ngaro e koe ki te whakaaro nui.

⁷ Purea ahau ki te hihopa, a ka ma ahau; horoia ahau, a ka ma ke atu i te hukarere.

⁸ Meinga kia rongo ahau i te hari, i te koa, a ka whakamanamana nga iwi i whatiia nei e koe.

⁹ Huna tou mata ki oku hara; a murua katoatia oku kino.

¹⁰ Hanga, e te Atua, he ngakau ma ki roto ki ahau: whakahoutia hoki ki roto ki ahau he wairua tika.

¹¹ Kaua ahau e maka i tou aroaro; kaua hoki tou wairua tapu e tangohia i ahau.

¹² Whakahokia mai ki ahau te hari o tau whakaoranga: tautokona hoki ahau ki te wairua kakama.

¹³ Ko reira ahau whakaako ai i au ara ki te hunga tutu; a ka tahuri te hunga hara ki a koe.

¹⁴ Whakaorangia ahau i te hara toto, e te Atua, e te Atua o toku whakaoranga, a ka waiatatia au mahi tika e toku arero.

¹⁵ Whakatuwheratia oku ngutu, e te Ariki; a ka puaki i toku mangai te whakamoemiti ki a koe.

¹⁶ Kahore nei hoki koe e aro ki te patunga tapu; penei kua hoatu e ahau: kahore koe e ahuareka ki te tahunga tinana.

¹⁷ Ko nga patunga tapu ma te Atua he wairua maru: e kore koe e whakahawea e te Atua, ki te ngakau maru, ki te ngakau iro.

¹⁸ Kia pai koe ki te atawhai i Hiona: hanga nga taiepa o Hiruharama.

¹⁹ Ko reira koe pai ai ki nga patunga tapu o te tika, ki nga tahunga tinana, he mea whakaeke katoa: ko reira ratou whakaeke ai i nga puru ki runga ki tou aata.

86  He inoi na Rawiri. Whakatitahatia iho tou taringa, e Ihowa whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau; he ware hoki ahau, he rawakore.

² Tiakina toku wairua: he tapu hoki ahau; mau, e toku Atua, e whakaora tau pononga e whakawhirinaki atu nei ki a koe.

³ Tohungia ahau, e te Ariki: e karanga nei hoki ahau ki a koe i te ra roa nei.

⁴ Whakaharitia te wairua o tau pononga; ka ara atu nei hoki toku wairua, e te Ariki, ki a koe.

⁵ He pai hoki koe, e te Ariki, he ngawari: e ranea ana hoki tau mahi tohu ki te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki a koe.

⁶ Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, ki taku inoi: whakarongo kitoku reo unene.

⁷ Ka karanga ahau ki a koe i te ra o toku pouri: e whakahoki kupu mai hoki koe ki ahau.

⁸ Kahore he rite mou, e te Ariki, i roto i nga atua: kahore hoki he rite mo au mahi.

⁹ Ka haere mai nga iwi katoa i hanga e koe, a ka koropiko ki tou aroaro, e te Ariki; ka whakakororia hoki i tou ingoa.

¹⁰ He nui hoki koe, e mahi ana i nga mea whakamiharo: ko koe anake te Atua.

¹¹ Whakaakona ahau ki tau ara, e Ihowa; ka haere ahau i runga i tou pono: whakatapatahitia toku ngakau ki te wehi i tou ingoa.

¹² Ka whakamoemiti katoa toku ngakau ki a koe, e te Ariki, e toku Atua: ka whakakororia ano i tou ingoa ake ake.

¹³ He nui hoki tau mahi tohu ki ahau: a kua whakaorangia e koe toku wairua i te reinga i raro riro.

¹⁴ E te Atua, kua whakatika ki ahau te hunga whakakake: kua whaia ano toku wairua e te huihuinga o te hunga tutu; kahore hoki koe e waiho i to ratou aroaro.

¹⁵ Ko koe ia, e te Ariki, he Atua atawhai, he tohu tangata: he puhoi ki te riri, e hua ana te mahi tohu me te pono.

¹⁶ Tahuri mai ki ahau, tohungia hoki ahau: homai tou kaha ki tau pononga, whakaorangia te tama a tau pononga wahine.

¹⁷ Whakakitea mai ki ahau he tohu mo te pai: kia kite ai te hunga e kino ana ki ahau, kia whakama ai: nou e Ihowa i awhina i ahau, i whakamarie i ahau.

122  He waiata; he pikitanga. Na Rawiri. I koa ahau i ta ratou meatanga mai ki ahau; Tatou ka haere ki te whare o Ihowa.

² E tu ana o matou waewae ki ou tatau, e Hiruharama:

³ Ko te hanganga o Hiruharama, rite tonu ki to te pa kua tuhonohonoa ki a ia ano..

⁴ Haereere ana ki reira nga iwi, nga iwi o Ihowa, ki to Iharaira whakaaturanga, ki te whakawhetai ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

⁵ Kua whakaturia hoki ki reira nga torona whakawa, nga torona o te whare o Rawiri.

⁶ Inoia he ata noho mo Hiruharama: ka whiwhi ki te pai te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe.

⁷ Kia mau te rongo ki ou taiepa, me te pai ki ou whare kingi.

⁸ He mea mo oku teina, mo oku hoa, taku e mea nei, Kia mau te rongo ki roto ki a koe.

⁹ He whakaaro ki te whare o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ka rapu ahau i te pai mou.
