Book of Common Prayer

23  He himene na Rawiri. Ko Ihowa toku hepara; e kore ahau e hapa.

² Ko ia hei mea kia takoto ahau ki nga wahi tarutaru hou: e arahi ana ia i ahau ki te taha o nga wai ata rere.

³ Ko ia hei whakahoki ake i toku wairua: e arahi ana ia i ahau i nga ara o te tika, he whakaaro ki tona ingoa.

⁴ Ae, ahakoa haere ahau i te awaawa o te atarangi o te mate, kahore he kino e wehi ai ahau: no te mea kei toku taha koe; ko tau rakau, ko tau tokotoko, ko ena hei oranga ngakau moku.

⁵ E taka ana e koe he tepu ki toku aroaro i te tirohanga a oku hoariri, e whakawahia ana e koe toku matenga ki te hinu, purena tonu taku kapu.

⁶ He pono e aru i ahau te pai me te atawhai i nga ra katoa e ora ai ahau, a ka noho ahau ki te whare o Ihowa ake tonu atu.

121  He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka anga atu oku kanohi ki nga maunga; no reira nei te awhina moku.

² No Ihowa te awhina moku, no te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.

³ E kore ia e tuku i tou waewae kia nekehia; e kore tou kaitiaki e moe.

⁴ Ina, e kore te kaitiaki o Iharaira e parangia, e moe.

⁵ Ko Ihowa tou kaitiaki, ko Ihowa tou whakamarumaru i tou matau.

⁶ E kore koe e pakia e te ra i te awatea, e te marama ranei i te po.

⁷ Ma Ihowa koe e tiaki i roto i nga kino katoa; mana e tiaki tou wairua.

⁸ Ma Ihowa e tiaki tou haerenga atu, me tou haerenga mai aianei a ake tonu atu.

42  A no ra ko Hopa ki a Ihowa; i mea ia,

² E mohio ana ahau e taea e koe nga mea katoa, a e kore tetahi whakaaro ou e taea te pehi.

³ Ko wai tenei e huna nei i te whakaaro, a kahore nei he matauranga? No reira korerotia ana e ahau he mea kihai i mohiotia e ahau, he mea whakamiharo rawa, e kore nei e taea e ahau, a kihai i mohiotia e ahau.

⁴ Tena ra, whakarongo, a ka korero ahau; ka ui ahau ki a koe, a mau e whakaatu mai ki ahau.

⁵ I rongo ahau ki a koe, he rongo na te taringa; tena ko tenei, ka kite a kanohi nei ahau i a koe,

⁶ Na whakarihariha ana ahau ki ahau ano, a ka ripeneta i roto i te puehu, i te pungarehu.

³ Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, nana nei, na tana mahi tohu e nui nei, tatou i whanau hou ai ki te tumanako ora, i a Ihu Karaiti ka ara ake nei i te hunga mate,

⁴ Ki te kainga kahore ona pirau, kahore ona poke, e kore ano hoki e memeha, e puritia mai nei i te rangi mo koutou,

⁵ Mo te hunga e tiakina nei e te kaha o te Atua i runga i te whakapono, kia taea ra ano te whakaoranga kua rite noa ake nei, a ka whakakitea mai a te wa whakamutunga.

⁶ Nui atu to koutou koa ki tenei, ahakoa pouri mo te wa iti nei, kite ai he pouri, i nga whakamatautauranga maha:

⁷ Na, ko te whakamatautauranga o to koutou whakapono, nui atu tona pai i to te koura e memeha nei, ae ra i te mea kua oti te whakamatautau ki te kapura, a ka kitea tona tukunga iho, he whakamoemiti, he honore, he kororia, a te whakakitenga mai o Ih u Karaiti,

⁸ Kahore nei ia e kitea e koutou, heoi arohaina ana e koutou; ahakoa kahore koutou e kite inaianei, heoi i a koutou ka whakapono nei ki a ia, nui atu te koa, he koa kororia, e kore e taea te korero:

⁹ I te mea ka whiwhi ki te tukunga iho o to koutou whakapono, ki te whakaoranga o o koutou wairua.

27  Na Rawiri. Ko Ihowa toku marama, toku whakaoranga; kia wehi ahau i a wai? Ko Ihowa te kaha o toku ora; ko wai e mataku ai ahau?

² I te whakatatanga mai o te hunga kino, o oku hoariri, o oku hoa whainga, ki te kai i oku kikokiko, tutuki ana ratou, hinga ana.

³ Ahakoa whakapae noa te ope i ahau e kore toku ngakau e wehi: ahakoa ara noa te pakanga ki ahau, ka au tonu ia ahau.

⁴ Kotahi taku mea i inoi ai i a Ihowa, ko taku tena e rapu ai: kia noho i te whare o Ihowa i nga ra katoa e ora ai ahau, kia kite ai i te ataahua o Ihowa, kia ui ai i roto i tona temepara.

⁵ Ka huna hoki ahau e ia ki tona teneti i te ra o te he, ka huna ki te wahi ngaro i tona tapenakara, ka hapainga ahau ki runga ki te kohatu.

⁶ Na, aianei ka teitei toku mahunga ki runga ake i oku hoariri, e karapoti nei i ahau; a ka patua e ahau i roto i tona tapenakara he whakahere hari; ka waiata ahau, ae ka himene ki a Ihowa.

⁷ Whakarongo mai ki toku reo, e Ihowa, ua karanga ahau, tohungia ahau, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.

⁸ I a koe i mea, Rapua e koutou toku mata; ka mea toku ngakau ki a koe, ka rapu ahau i tou mata, e Ihowa.

⁹ Kaua tou mata e huna ki ahau, kaua tau pononga e peia atu ua riri koe: ko koe toku kaiawhina, kei mahue ahau i a koe, kei whakarerea e koe e te Atua o toku whakaoranga.

¹⁰ Ki te whakarerea ahau e toku papa, e toku whaea, ko Ihowa hei tukunga atu moku.

¹¹ E Ihowa, whakaakona ahau ki tau ara; arahina ahau i te ara tika, he hoariri hoki oku.

¹² Kaua ahau e tukua ki te hiahia o oku hoariri; kua whakatika mai hoki ki ahau he kaiwhakapae teka, me te hunga manawa nanakia.

¹³ Kua ngohe ahau, me i kaua ahau i whakapono, tera ahau e kite i te pai o te Atua i te whenua o te ora.

¹⁴ Taria a Ihowa: kia maia, a kia kaha tou ngakau; ina, taria a Ihowa.

14  Kei pouri o koutou ngakau: e whakapono ana koutou ki te Atua, whakapono hoki ki ahau.

² He maha nga nohonga i roto i te whare o toku Matua: me he kahore, kua korerotia e ahau ki a koutou. Ka haere hoki ahau ki te mea i tetahi wahi hei tukunga ake mo koutou.

³ A ki te haere ahau ki te mea wahi hei tukunga ake mo koutou, ka haere mai ano ahau, a ka tango i a koutou ki ahau; kia noho ai hoki koutou ki te wahi e noho ai ahau.

⁴ Na e matau ana koutou ki te huarahi ki te wahi e haere atu nei ahau.

⁵ Na ka mea a Tamati ki a ia, E te Ariki, kahore matou e matau ki te wahi e haere na koe; me pehea ka matau ai matou ki te huarahi?

⁶ Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ko ahau te huarahi, te pono, te ora: e kore rawa tetahi tangata e haere ake ki te Matua, ki te kahore ahau.

⁷ Me i matau koutou ki ahau, kua matau ano ki toku matua; na i enei ake wa ka mohio koutou ki a ia, kua kite ano hoki i a ia.
